Security is “often overlooked” for the IoT
https://www.rambus.com/blogs/security-is-often-overlooked-for-the-iot-2/The Online Trust Alliance (OTA) has determined that the overwhelming majority of publicly reported Internet of Things (IoT) vulnerabilities publicly disclosed over the last year could have been easily avoided. According Craig Spiezle, Executive Director and President of the Online Trust Alliance, security and privacy is often overlooked in the rush to bring connected devices […]
Rethinking system architecture as Moore’s Law wanes
https://www.rambus.com/blogs/rethinking-system-architecture-as-moores-law-wanes-2/Ed Sperling of Semiconductor Engineering observes that chipmakers are increasingly relying on architectural and micro-architectural changes as the “best hope” for optimizing power and performance across markets, process nodes and price points. “While discussion about the death of Moore’s Law predates the 1-micron process node, there is no question that it is getting harder for even […]
Online purchases via Apple Pay & Android Pay to hit $8 billion by 2018
https://www.rambus.com/blogs/online-purchases-via-apple-pay-android-pay-to-hit-8-billion-by-2018-2/Analysts at Juniper Research say the value of digital and physical goods purchased via mobile ‘OS-Pay’ platforms will increase by fifteen times in the next two years. More specifically, a combination of in-app purchases and website retail payments is projected to drive annual spend via Apple Pay and Android Pay to $8 billion in 2018, […]
Why did DishTV India choose an embedded root-of-trust?
https://www.rambus.com/blogs/why-did-dishtv-india-choose-an-embedded-root-of-trust-2/Earlier this summer, DishTV India selected Rambus’ CryptoMedia Security Platform for use in its Pay TV satellite system. Essentially, CryptoMedia ensures secure distribution of premium content for cable and satellite operators with a hardware root-of-trust embedded in the set-top-box (STB) chipset that is resistant to side-channel attacks. With 14.9 million subscribers and a growing user […]
Securing next-gen drones
https://www.rambus.com/blogs/securing-next-gen-drones-2/John Edwards of Semiconductor Engineering recently penned an article that explores the security risks associated with drones. The biggest drone threat of all, says Edwards, may turn out to be attacks made against the vehicles themselves. “Drones, also known as UAVs (unmanned aerial vehicles) and UASs (unmanned aerial systems), need a variety of internal components […]
Rambus microsite goes live on The Next Platform
https://www.rambus.com/blogs/rambus-microsite-goes-live-on-the-next-platform-2/A new microsite curated by Rambus is now live on The Next Platform. According to Kendra De Berti, Director, Solutions Marketing at Rambus, the microsite hosts a wide range of in-depth content on applications from the data center to the mobile edge for readers of the popular publication. “The Next Platform microsite is a great […]
Going cardless for CAS with a hardware root-of-trust
https://www.rambus.com/blogs/going-cardless-for-cas-with-a-hardware-root-of-trust-2/The majority of set-top boxes (STBs) on the market in the 1990s were secured by Conditional Access System (CAS) smart cards that stored STB identities along with their respective service rights. While these early smart cards offered operators basic levels of content protection against unauthorized viewers, they were ultimately incapable of guarding against increasingly sophisticated methods […]
Why tokenization is critical for mobile payments
https://www.rambus.com/blogs/why-tokenization-is-critical-for-mobile-payments-2/Steven Anderson of PaymentWeek recently observed that tokenization is a critical aspect of the mobile payments revolution. Essentially, tokenization protects payment credentials by replacing them with a randomly generated number that resembles the customer’s primary account number (PAN). The unique identifier, known as a ‘payment token’ or ‘tokenized PAN’, is worthless if stolen, as it acts […]
Accelerating high performance computing systems
https://www.rambus.com/blogs/accelerating-high-performance-computing-systems-2/Esthela Gallardo and Patricia J. Teller have penned an article for HPC Wire that explores the various challenges associated with cross-accelerator performance profiling. As Gallardo and Teller note, high performance computing (HPC) systems are comprised of multiple compute nodes interconnected by a network. “Previously these nodes were composed solely of multi-core processors, but nowadays they also […]
Exploring future memory requirements for quantum computing
https://www.rambus.com/blogs/exploring-future-memory-requirements-for-quantum-computing-2/Quantum computing utilizes quantum-mechanical phenomena, including superposition and entanglement, to perform operations on data. According to Wikipedia, quantum computers differ from traditional binary digital electronic systems based on transistors. To be sure, digital computing encodes data into binary digits (bits), each of which is always in one or two definite states: 0 or 1. In […]
