Intertrust Technologies to integrate CryptoFirewall security cores
Intertrust Technologies Corporation has confirmed its plan to integrate Rambus CryptoFirewall™ hardware-based security cores with its open, standards-based Marlin digital rights management (DRM) technology. According to Rambus security marketing manager Zainab Al-Shamma, the partnership will enable Intertrust to provide content distributors with an additional level of hardware security in compatible consumer devices, including smart 4K UHD TVs.
Rambus Cryptography Research helps Barco Silex thwart PoS security threats
The Cryptography Research division of Rambus recently clinched a partnership agreement with Barco Silex. According to Rambus Cryptography VP Dr. Simon Blake-Wilson, the agreement allows Barco Silex to develop DPA-resistant solutions that will help accelerate time-to-market for security-based products.
Understanding the methodology behind side-channel attacks
Rambus Cryptography Research Fellow Pankaj Rohatgi recently penned an in-depth EDN article describing the methodology behind side-channel attacks. The technique, says Rohatgi, relies on the fact that any physical realization of cryptography in hardware or software cannot be an “atomic black box” as assumed by the traditional mathematical proofs of security. Simply put, physical systems routinely leak information about the internal process of computing.
Securing silicon with a hardware-based root of trust
Steven Woo, VP of solutions marketing and distinguished inventor at Rambus, recently sat down with Anne Fisher of Embedded Systems Engineering to discuss the burgeoning security requirements of a rapidly growing Internet of Things (IoT).
