Securing ultra-low-power devices

https://www.rambus.com/blogs/securing-ultra-low-power-devices-2/

Ernest Worthman of Semiconductor Engineering recently noted that future ultra-low-power (ULP) IoT devices require a new paradigm for handling cryptography. “To optimize the power in a ULP device, cryptography and otherwise, there are two approaches that can be uses; steady-state low-power over time and pulsed operation over time,” he explained. “[However], the main issue surrounding […]

Cracking SIM cards with side-channel attacks

http://www.rambusblog.com/2015/08/11/cracking-sim-cards-with-side-channel-attacks/#new_tab

A Jiao Tong University researcher has exploited side-channel attack techniques to crack the encryption codes protecting 3G and 4G cards. “[The cards use] AES-128, which is supposed to be virtually unbeatable by a brute-force attack, but turns out to be easy to defeat using side-channel analysis,” explained Iain Thomson of The Register. “Side-channel attacks measure […]

When power becomes a problem

https://www.rambus.com/blogs/when-power-becomes-a-problem-2/

Semiconductor Engineering editor in chief Ed Sperling recently reported that the current emphasis on lowering power – in everything from wearable electronics to data centers – is turning into a “perfect storm” for the semiconductor ecosystem. “In the past, most issues involving power—notably current leakage, physical effects such as electromigration, electrostatic discharge, RC delay and […]

Bolstering mobile security for the IoE

https://www.rambus.com/blogs/security-bolstering-mobile-security-for-the-ioe/

Writing for Semiconductor Engineering, Ernest Worthman notes that approximately six billion people rely on a variety of mobile devices to shop, bank, interface with social media and monitor their health. “Unless you are on the inside track and know better, one would think that all that data is secure. Reality is somewhat different,” Worthman explains. […]
