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.
NextChip Selects Rambus Security IP to Secure Apache6 Automotive Processor
Highlights:
- Rambus RT-640 Root of Trust and MACsec-IP-160 Protocol Engine to protect next-generation NextChip Apache6 SoC
- Rambus Root of Trust and MACsec engine enable secure boot for centralized domain/zone processors and link protection for Automated Valet Parking (AVP) and other demanding ADAS applications
- Rambus security solutions meet ISO 26262 ASIL-B reliability and protect mission-critical data at rest and in motion
SAN JOSE, Calif. – Dec. 7, 2021 – Rambus Inc. (NASDAQ: RMBS), a premier chip and silicon IP provider making data faster and safer, today announced that NextChip has selected the Rambus RT-640 Root of Trust and MACsec-IP-160 Protocol Engine to provide hardware-level security for their next-generation Apache6 automotive processor. The Apache6 ADAS SoC combines advanced CPU, GPU, ISP and NPU processors to enable demanding automotive vision and domain/zone controller applications such as AVP. The Rambus RT-640 Root of Trust is specifically tailored as an embedded hardware security module (HSM) for automotive ADAS applications requiring ASIL-B level reliability. In addition, the MACsec-IP-160 encrypts and protects data communicated over the in-vehicle network.
“We’re raising the bar for reliable, compact and affordable ADAS solutions with the Apache6,” said Hweihn Chung, CTO at NextChip. “With Rambus security IP solutions, Apache6 offers state-of-the-art protection of mission-critical data while meeting full ASIL-B compliance.”
The Rambus RT-640 Root of Trust provides security services and protection of data processed by the Apache6 SoC. The RT-640 is a powerful security co-processor featuring automotive grade embedded security software, high-performance cryptographic accelerators for AES, HMAC, SHA-2 and more. In addition, dedicated safety integrity mechanisms ensure correct operations and extensive error handling and the advanced anti-tamper features of the RT-640 protect chips from side-channel and fault injection (FI) attacks. The Rambus MACsec-IP-160 encrypts and protects data at speeds up to 100 Gbps over Ethernet in-car networks.
“The growing power and capabilities of ADAS solutions like NextChips’s Apache6 raise the stakes for the highest level of data and hardware security,” said Neeraj Paliwal, general manager of Security IP at Rambus. “It’s an honor to be selected by NextChip for our industry-leading security solutions tailored for the performance and reliability needs of the automotive market.”
