Did you know that a September 2015 US Office of Personnel Management (OPM) system breach resulted in 5.6 million leaked fingerprints?
“We’ve all seen movies that included a clever way to get someone’s fingerprints, and I never thought much about it,” Jimmy Pike, an analyst Moor Insights & Strategy, wrote in Forbes. “Now a huge number of these biometric signatures are in the dark side of society.”
Unveiled earlier this week at CES 2015, the flagship Asus ZenFone 2 features a 64-bit Intel Atom Z3580 processor and supports up to 4GB LPDDR3 DRAM. Additional key ZenFone 2 specs include an Intel LTE-Advanced modem, 5.5-inch full HD IPS+ screen, 13MP PixelMaster rear camera, 5MP front camera and a 3000mAh battery.
Recently, Semiconductor Engineering interviewed Paul Kocher, president and chief scientist of the Rambus Cryptography Research division, about various security risks associated with the rapidly evolving Internet of Things (IoT).
The Secure Content Storage Association (SCSA) has added 21 new members to its rapidly expanding ranks, including Sprint, Toshiba, Broadcom and Mstar Semiconductor.
The latest SCSA contributors join an expansive group of 50 participating companies spanning the larger entertainment and technology industries. These include Qualcomm, Samsung, Comcast, LG Electronics, Cisco, Seagate, MediaTek, Marvell and Dolby Laboratories. It should also be noted that the Rambus Cryptography Research division is a special advisor to the Association.
Riscure recently published a detailed analysis of the CryptoFirewall™ (CF) security core designed by the Cryptography Research division of Rambus. Essentially, the CryptoFirewall core prevents unauthorized access of content in multimedia decoding chips that are currently used in set-top boxes and coming soon to smart TVs.
Smart dust can perhaps best be described as tiny, connected sensor motes tasked with performing a wide variety of functions. As Ernest Worthman of Semiconductor Engineering notes, the applications for IoT-enabled smart dust are practically limitless and include designing uber-mini drones the size of small bugs.
