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 […]
Intel says DDR4 is ramping quickly
https://www.rambus.com/blogs/intel-says-ddr4-is-ramping-quickly-2/Last week at IDF 2016, Intel executive Geof Findley presented a comprehensive overview of the memory industry ecosystem. According to Findley, DDR4 is ramping quickly and should hit 31% of shipments during the second quarter of 2016. With volume shipments kicking off in 2014, almost all servers are now shipping with DDR4, while most PCs […]
Building a seismic supercomputer in the shadow of Dennard Scaling
https://www.rambus.com/blogs/building-a-seismic-supercomputer-in-the-shadow-of-dennard-scaling-2/Bert Beals of Cray Inc. recently told the Digital Energy Journal that the industry can no longer simply build an efficient supercomputer for seismic processing by simply adding more processors. Indeed, because Dennard Scaling no longer applies, advanced microprocessors now require more power and additional cooling for heat dissipation. Moreover, even though engineers might fit […]
Are today’s avionics systems more vulnerable to cyberattacks and to side channel attacks?
http://www.newelectronics.co.uk/electronics-technology/are-todays-avionics-systems-more-vulnerable-to-cyberattacks-and-to-side-channel-attacks/144332/#new_tabCybersecurity and aviation experts believe a growing number of commercial aircraft could be vulnerable to on board computers being hacked or taken over remotely by passengers with malicious intent.
