Rambus scientists have debuted thermal-enabled lensless smart sensor (LSS) technology at MWC 2016 in Barcelona. As Rambus Labs VP Gary Bronner notes, LSS now supports thermal capabilities alongside the visible spectrum. “LSS can enable a future where IoT technology is infused in every aspect of modern life, from smart cities and transportation to medical equipment and manufacturing,” said Bronner.

Jerome Nadel to talk lensless smart sensors at MWC 2016
On February 24, Rambus will participate in the 4YFN Innovators Breakfast with IXDS and Bosch at the MWC MLove Lounge (Fira Montjuic, Hall 8) from 11AM to 12PM. During the event, Rambus CMO Jerome Nadel is slated to discuss design thinking, with a focus on lensless smart sensors (LSS) and related partners-in-open-development (POD) initiatives.
Side-channel attacks target Mr. Robot
This past summer, Engadget’s Violet Blue compiled a list of the top Mr. Robot hacks. These include deanonymizing Tor traffic, the installation of an Android rootkit, compromising an HVAC system using a Raspberry Pi, Bluetooth and text message spoofing, as well as the deployment of a keystroke-injection attack tool.
Waging 21st century cyber-warfare
Cyber-warfare is emerging as the most sophisticated battleground of the 21st century. “In fact, the military in all major countries make it a priority,” Ernest Worthman of Semiconductor Engineering recently observed. “Collectively they are spending tens of billions of dollars on education and building a knowledgebase of how attacks can be perpetrated and what defenses are needed.”
Cryptography and the Internet of Everything (IoE)
Ernest Worthman of Semiconductor Engineering recently noted that the rapidly evolving Internet of Everything (IoE) requires a “new breed” of networks to handle data from billions of devices quickly and securely. “The terms ‘high performance’ and ‘high security’ are generally incompatible in the networking world because the security technology in use today bogs down network performance,” he explained.
