Rambus Signs License Agreement with Gemalto to Protect Against Side-Channel Attacks
https://www.rambus.com/rambus-signs-license-agreement-gemalto-protect-side-channel-attacks/Agreement provides access to DPA Countermeasures portfolio SUNNYVALE, California – February 14, 2018 – Rambus Inc. (NASDAQ: RMBS) today announced that it has signed a patent license agreement with Gemalto, a global leader in digital security. The agreement covers the use of Rambus patents covering Differential Power Analysis (DPA) Countermeasures, which protect devices and integrated circuits against DPA and […]
Protecting Electronic Systems from Side-Channel Attacks
https://go.rambus.com/protecting-electronic-systems-from-side-channel-attacks#new_tabSide-channel attacks conducted against electronic systems are relatively simple and inexpensive to execute. An attacker does not need to know specific implementation details of the cryptographic device to perform these attacks and extract keys. As all physical electronic systems routinely leak information, effective side-channel countermeasures such as Rambus’ DPA Resistant Hardware Cores (DPARC) or DPA […]
Protecting electronic systems from side-channel attacks
https://www.rambus.com/blogs/protecting-electronic-systems-side-channel-attacks/During the early days of safecracking, rudimentary rotary locks were compromised by feel or sound to determine the correct combination. Following in this tradition, cyber criminals and other malicious actors are now exploiting side-channel attacks (SCA) to compromise cryptographic systems. To be sure, all physical electronic systems routinely leak information about the internal process of […]
Viaccess-Orca selects Rambus CryptoMedia Content Protection Core
https://www.rambus.com/blogs/viaccess-orca-selects-rambus-cryptomedia-content-protection-core/An embedded hardware RoT Viaccess-Orca is collaborating with Rambus to bolster its VO Shield Root of Trust (RoT) security solution. According to a recent Viaccess-Orca press release, Rambus’ CryptoMedia Content Protection Core complements the company’s VO Shield by enabling a hardware RoT to be embedded directly in the multimedia chipset of devices, including TVs and […]
The importance of protecting military equipment from side-channel attacks
https://www.rambus.com/blogs/the-importance-of-protecting-military-equipment-from-side-channel-attacks/Michael Mehlberg, a senior director of business development at Rambus’ security division, recently wrote an article for Intelligent Aerospace about the importance of protecting military equipment – including avionics and electronics – from tampering, reverse engineering and cryptanalysis. Have you read our primer? – Side-channel attacks explained “While cyber-warfare has become increasingly sophisticated in recent […]
Rambus cracks post-quantum ‘QcBits’ cipher with side-channel power analysis
https://www.rambus.com/blogs/rambus-cracks-post-quantum-qcbits-cipher-with-side-channel-power-analysis/Rambus security researchers have successfully conducted a side-channel assisted cryptanalysis attack against QcBits, a code-based public key algorithm based on a problem thought to be resistant to quantum computer attacks. QcBits – pronounced “quick-bits” – is a variant of the McEliece public-key cryptosystem based on quasi-cyclic (QC) moderate density parity check (MDPC) codes. According to […]
Understanding the growing threat of medical cyberattacks
https://www.rambus.com/blogs/understanding-the-growing-threat-of-medical-cyberattacks/Depending on what you read or who you talk to, medical devices, along with hospital networks, fall into two categories: they are either woefully unprepared for a cyberattack, or designed and maintained by those who believe that piecemeal cyber security measures (sans a holistic approach) will hopefully deter attacks and prevent digital intrusions. Ahead of […]
TEMPEST side-channel attacks recover AES-256 encryption keys
https://www.rambus.com/blogs/tempest-side-channel-attacks-recover-aes-256-encryption-keys/In a recently published paper, security researchers built a miniature system capable of covertly recovering encryption keys using side-channel analysis. Fox-IT’s Craig Ramsay and Jasper Lohuis collaborated with Riscure to perform this analysis against two realistic AES-256 implementations. Specifically, the attacks were conducted using an improved antenna and signal processing equipment that cost less than […]
10/7nm: Transient power issues and side-channel attacks
https://www.rambus.com/blogs/107nm-transient-power-issues-and-side-channel-attacks/Semiconductor Engineering’s Ann Steffora Mutschler has written an in-depth article that explores the issue of transient power at 10/7nm. According to Mutschler, transient power adds yet another level of complexity for design teams already wrestling with power issues caused by leakage, a variety of power management techniques to control dynamic power and leakage current. “At […]
Introduction to Side-Channel Attacks
https://go.rambus.com/introduction-to-side-channel-attacks-ebook#new_tabSide-channel attacks conducted against electronic gear are relatively simple and inexpensive to execute. Such attacks include simple power analysis (SPA) and Differential Power Analysis (DPA). An attacker does not need to know specific implementation details of the cryptographic device to perform these attacks and extract keys. As all physical electronic systems routinely leak information, effective […]
