Rambus Federal: Delivering Mission-Critical Performance & Security
Whether satellite, UAV, wearable or other equipment, today’s military hardware contains highly-complex microelectronics that include advanced processing, data storage, and data communications capabilities. In-theater personnel rely on these devices to successfully and safely complete their missions. High-performance memory and chip-to-chip interfaces are key to speeding the data between chips and systems critical to the functioning of a modern military.
The increase in connected devices has come with a commensurate growing risk to system security. Through side-channel attacks, adversaries can hack electronic devices and extract cryptographic keys, exposing sensitive information. Systems can be targeted by Distributed Denial of Service (DDOS) attacks, rendering entire groups of connected hardware ineffective and untrusted. Counterfeit chips can compromise the functioning of hardware or be used to steal vital information.
At Rambus Federal, we understand the importance of delivering both the performance needed by military hardware and the means to ensure the data processed, stored and communicated remains secure. Our industry-leading interface and security IP solutions make possible faster, more secure, mission-critical electronic systems.
Trusted Security
Our proven cryptographic IP with a focus on zero trust, secure boot and tamper resistance comprise a tightly-integrated security ecosystem that enables simple and rapid integration into new and existing systems. Our CryptoManager Root of Trust solutions can be embedded as a secure processing core alongside the main CPU to provide robust device security. Secure protocol engines ensure secure transmission of encrypted data over the network.
Mission-Critical Performance
One of the major benefits of a connected military system is the ability to do in-field Over the Air (OTA) software and firmware updates regardless of where the system is located. This minimizes the need to pull equipment from the field and keeps vehicles and equipment in service longer. A hardware Root of Trust embedded in the system enables the receiving system to verify that the OTA update is authentic. Additionally, the system utilizes personalized keys provisioned at time of manufacturing that are unique to each device to further ensure the integrity of the communication between the cloud and the hardware.
Mission: Secure - Safeguarding Government Systems from Silicon to Software
Join us every week starting June 17th for a series of webinars discussing the latest developments in our cryptographic IP and secure provisioning solutions.
Compliance & Longevity
Securing military systems across their decades-long lifecycle is critical to maintaining national defense integrity and operational readiness. These systems often remain in service far beyond typical technology refresh cycles, making them vulnerable to evolving cyber threats. Ensuring their resilience requires rigorous, ongoing security practices. Compliance with FIPS (Federal Information Processing Standards) plays a vital role in this effort by providing a consistent, government-recognized framework for cryptographic security. Rambus Federal offers a broad array of FIPS certified tamper resistant IP solutions providing robust security against current and future threats.
Future Ready
Quantum computers pose a significant threat to the long-term security of military systems by rendering today’s asymmetric cryptographic algorithms vulnerable to rapid decryption. Incorporating Quantum Safe security ensures that sensitive communications, mission-critical data, and command systems remain secure even in a post-quantum world. Rambus Federal offers the industry’s leading portfolio of Quantum Safe IP solutions to future-proof defense infrastructure in the face of emerging quantum threats.
Speeding System Performance
Military electronic systems are increasingly sophisticated and powerful requiring the latest advances in processing, storage and communications technology. High-speed memory interfaces ensure that data can moved between devices and systems at blazingly fast speeds. Building on 35 years of experience delivering innovations foundational to high-performance electronics, Rambus Federal memory and interface solutions enable military hardware to accomplish their mission.
“With Rambus joining our DARPA Toolbox Initiative…our researchers will now have streamlined access to this cutting-edge IP to accelerate the speed of development for their projects.”
