From smart dust to cybernetic implants
https://www.rambus.com/blogs/from-smart-dust-to-cybernetic-implants-2/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. “Such a device would be ideal for deployment during […]
FIDO specs bolster secure authentication
