https://www.rambus.com/blogs/smart-sensor-market-to-hit-21-60-billion-by-2019-2/A new report published by Transparency Market Research confirms the global smart sensor market will hit $21.60 billon by 2019. “Rapidly increasing sales of various types of consumer electronics and automobiles is the major factor driving demand for smart/intelligent sensors,” TMR analysts stated in their report summary. “In present times, smart/intelligent sensors are [already] an […]
Securing ultra-low-power devices
https://www.rambus.com/blogs/securing-ultra-low-power-devices-2/Ernest Worthman of Semiconductor Engineering recently noted that future ultra-low-power (ULP) IoT devices require a new paradigm for handling cryptography. “To optimize the power in a ULP device, cryptography and otherwise, there are two approaches that can be uses; steady-state low-power over time and pulsed operation over time,” he explained. “[However], the main issue surrounding […]
Cracking SIM cards with side-channel attacks
https://www.rambus.com/blogs/cracking-sim-cards-with-side-channel-attacks-2/A Jiao Tong University researcher has exploited side-channel attack techniques to crack the encryption codes protecting 3G and 4G cards. “[The cards use] AES-128, which is supposed to be virtually unbeatable by a brute-force attack, but turns out to be easy to defeat using side-channel analysis,” explained Iain Thomson of The Register. “Side-channel attacks measure […]
Fighting cancer with Big Data
https://www.rambus.com/blogs/fighting-cancer-with-big-data-2/The California Initiative to Advance Precision Medicine has provided $1.2 million in funding for the Genomics Institute’s California Kids Cancer Comparison project. The project, led by the UC Santa Cruz Genomics Institute, is one of two selected by the new California Initiative to Advance Precision Medicine, a public-private effort launched by Governor Edmund G. Brown […]
Brain-to-machine interface market targets hardcore gamers
https://www.rambus.com/blogs/brain-to-machine-interface-market-targets-hardcore-gamers-2/ABI Research analysts have confirmed that several manufacturers are preparing to launch Brain-to-Machine Interface (BMI) products in advance of the end-of-year holiday buying season. According to ABI Research director Jeff Orr, BMI technology won’t be capable of reading thoughts, nor can it be exploited to program an individual to perform nefarious acts. However, tapping into […]
FDA issues cyber security warning over hospital IV pump
https://www.rambus.com/blogs/security-fda-issues-cyber-security-warning-over-hospital-iv-pump/The FDA and U.S. Department of Homeland Security have issued an official statement concerning cybersecurity vulnerabilities associated with the Symbiq Infusion System. “Hospira and an independent researcher confirmed that Hospira’s Symbiq Infusion System could be accessed remotely through a hospital’s network. This could allow an unauthorized user to control the device and change the dosage […]
Why the IoT is all about data
https://www.rambus.com/blogs/why-the-iot-is-all-about-data-2/Moor Insights & Strategy senior analyst John Fruehe says more focus should be placed on the “what” of the IoT rather than the “how.” “All of the strategy and shiny objects in the world won’t help if the data isn’t accurate, secure and actionable,” Fruehe wrote in a recent Forbes article. “The data should always […]
Google wants 5 petabit switching
https://www.rambus.com/blogs/mid-google-wants-5-petabit-switching/The Platform’s Timothy Prickett Morgan reports that Google is eyeing networking throughput capabilities of 5 petabits per second. However, as Google Fellow Amin Vahdat recently pointed out, the industry currently “underprovisions” networks because it doesn’t (yet) know how to build big networks capable of delivering “lots” of bandwidth. According to Vahdat, the ideal network should […]
When power becomes a problem
https://www.rambus.com/blogs/when-power-becomes-a-problem-2/Semiconductor Engineering editor in chief Ed Sperling recently reported that the current emphasis on lowering power – in everything from wearable electronics to data centers – is turning into a “perfect storm” for the semiconductor ecosystem. “In the past, most issues involving power—notably current leakage, physical effects such as electromigration, electrostatic discharge, RC delay and […]
Is DRAM adhering to Moore’s Law?
https://www.rambus.com/blogs/mid-is-dram-adhering-to-moores-law/Writing for PC Magazine, Michael J. Miller notes that although most of the discussion around Moore’s Law has thus far focused on logic chips, the memory industry has clearly entered a transitional stage. “DRAM shrinks have slowed dramatically. Most of the makers are now in the transition to 20nm DRAM with perhaps one or two […]
