Protecting Government Systems: Addressing Growing CyberSecurity Threats With Hardware-Level Security
[Feb 22 @ 11am PT] In this webinar, Adelaide O’Brien, Research Director, Government Digital Transformation Strategies of IDC and Neeraj Paliwal, general manager of Security IP and Rambus, will discuss the need and solutions for protecting systems at the foundational hardware level.
Stopping Stealthy Counterfeit Chips with PUF Helper-Data Images
PUFs, physically unclonable functions, are mixed-signal circuits which rely on variations unique to a specific chip in order to self-generate a digital “fingerprint.” These fingerprints can be used as the basis of cryptographic keys. While that’s useful, the real power of PUFs is leveraging their unclonable transformation function to enable a challenge-response mechanism that can distinguish an authentic chip from a perfect adversarial clone at any time after the original chip is fielded. In this webinar, Scott Best, Technical Director of Rambus Security IP, will describe the methods that PUF helper-data images generated during the chip manufacturing process can be employed to end the risk of undetectable counterfeit chips.
Preventing a $500 Attack Destroying Your IoT Device
Internet of Things (IoT) smart devices numbering in the billions and connected via the internet are increasingly vital to society and the global economy. However, the very “connectedness” that makes IoT devices so valuable can be turned to an enormous liability if these devices are left unprotected from security-related threats. This paper explores the threat environment faced by, and the concepts and methods for securing, IoT devices.

Demonstration of a CXL Interconnect on a FPGA-based design
In this video, we demonstrate the Rambus Controller IP for CXL 2.0 and the CXL.mem protocol used to access Host-managed Device Memory, or HDM. This demonstration is performed using Intel’s Pre-Production Xeon processor as a host, connected to an FPGA board, instantiating Rambus’ CXL Controller and CXL.mem test design.
