https://www.rambus.com/blogs/biometric-security-and-the-future-of-mobile-payments-2/According to Patrick Moorhead, Principal Analyst at Moor Insights & Strategy, security has become one of the “biggest issues” in today’s technologically-connected society. “We use mobile devices to transfer money, pay bills and even to share our health information. Nevertheless, most users don’t want to spend a great deal of time thinking about the security […]
Securing the Internet of Things starts with transistors
https://www.rambus.com/blogs/securing-the-internet-of-things-starts-with-transistors-3/Asaf Ashkenazi, senior director of product management in Rambus’ Security Division, has penned an article for Semiconductor Engineering about the six “Strategic Principles” for securing the Internet of Things (IoT) outlined by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS). Perhaps the most important of these principles, says Ashkenazi, is the concept of implementing security at the […]
Augmented Reality (AR) goes shopping
https://www.rambus.com/blogs/augmented-reality-ar-goes-shopping-2/Qualcomm defines Augmented Reality (AR) as the superimposition of digital content on top of a view of the real world. Popularized by games such as Pokémon GO, the technology facilitates significant opportunities for brick-and-mortar stores. AR has already been adopted by a slew of retailers across diverse markets including travel, real estate, food, furniture, toys […]
Mobile wallet use up in 2016
https://www.rambus.com/blogs/mobile-wallet-use-up-in-2016-2/A recent survey commissioned by Capital One has found that nearly one quarter (24%) of respondents are using mobile wallets in some capacity, with 16% leveraging the technology to make purchases. Of the 24%, more than 63% confirmed the use of a mobile wallet for less than year. As Mobile Payments Today notes, the above-mentioned […]
Saving power with HBM
https://www.rambus.com/blogs/saving-power-with-hbm-2/Ed Sperling of Semiconductor Engineering notes that power has always been a “global concern” in the design process because it affects every part of a chip. Nevertheless, partitioning for power rather than functionality or performance has not, historically, been seriously considered, although the status quo is beginning to change. For example, says Sperling, the increasing use […]
