Radio emissions leak secret crypto-keys
https://www.rambus.com/blogs/radio-emissions-leak-secret-crypto-keys-2/A team of Tel Aviv University (TAU) researchers has demonstrated the successful extraction of secret decryption keys from laptop computers via the non-intrusive measurement of electromagnetic emanations from a distance of 50 centimeters and a total duration of just a few seconds. According to an abstract cited by The Register’s John Leyden, such attacks can […]
Big Data manages electric grid demand
https://www.rambus.com/blogs/big-data-manages-electric-grid-demand-2/Writing for Datanami, George Leopold notes that the summer months are often especially challenging for power utility companies. “[They are] managing peak demand while figuring out how to integrate intermittent power sources into the grid,” he explains. “Increasingly, Big Data analytics tools are being applied to the emerging smart grid as a way to gauge […]
Researchers eye injectable mesh electronics
https://www.rambus.com/blogs/researchers-eye-injectable-mesh-electronics-2/Researchers at Harvard and Beijing’s National Center for Nanoscience and Technology have developed a method of using a needle measuring just a few millimeters in length to inject mesh electronics directly into the brain. As John Wenz of PopularMechanics explains, this technique allows the mesh to safely unfurl, providing a non-invasive way to deploy sensors […]
Building a secure foundation for wearables
https://www.rambus.com/blogs/building-a-secure-foundation-for-wearables-2/Did you know it is technically possible to spy on wearable devices in a gym or coffee shop? Fortunately, as Wareable’s David Nield points out, it’s highly unlikely that anyone who isn’t a security researcher is actually going to bother to try – for now. “The few drops of data available are not worth the […]

WiFi powers these sensors
https://www.rambus.com/blogs/wifi-powers-these-sensors-2/A team of researchers from the University of Washington (UW) has successfully demonstrated that a WiFi router is capable of providing far field wireless power – without compromising the network’s communication performance. More specifically, the team managed to power temperature and camera sensors at distances of 20 and 17 feet, respectively. In addition, the University […]
Can Big Data heal healthcare?
https://www.rambus.com/blogs/can-big-data-heal-healthcare-2/As Greta Kaul of the San Francisco Chronicle recently noted, the high cost of healthcare remains a salient “pain point” for many American families. Unsurprisingly, many in the industry are turning to Big Data analytics to help alleviate some of the discomfort. “[It could] lop off, by some estimates, 8 percent of the trillions in […]
Hospital medical devices targeted in cyber attack
https://www.rambus.com/blogs/hospital-medical-devices-targeted-in-cyber-attack-2/A recent report authored by TrapX details three instances where hospitals were hit by data breaches. According to DarkReading’s Kelly Jackson Higgins, the digital intrusions occurred after certain medical devices had been infected with malware backdoors. “In all three cases, the hospitals were unaware that these devices – a blood gas analyzer, a picture archive […]
The Evolution of Biometric Security: Part Two
https://www.rambus.com/blogs/the-evolution-of-biometric-security-part-two-2/Writing for SemiconductorEngineering, Ernest Worthman notes that while biometrics offer a plethora of potential security-based tools, there are currently only two in wide-scale deployment: fingerprints and facial scanning. Indeed, according to ABI digital security analyst Dimitrios Pavlakis, fingerprints account for 60% to 70% of all biometric applications. Additional technologies eyed by major industry players include […]
Is health care prepared for the Cyber Age?
https://www.rambus.com/blogs/is-health-care-prepared-for-the-cyber-age-2/Writing for SemiconductorEngineering, Ernest Worthman describes the health care industry as “woefully ill-prepared” for a digital Cyber Age. “This is a rather dismal assessment, considering that the volume of personal health-related data is an order of magnitude greater than the equivalent data in the financial segment and growing rapidly,” he opines. “Within the past couple […]
