There is no giant Faraday cage for the IoT
https://www.rambus.com/blogs/there-is-no-giant-faraday-cage-for-the-iot-2/A Faraday cage or Faraday shield can best be defined as an enclosure formed by conductive material that is used to block electric fields. As such, Faraday cages either heavily attenuate or block the reception and transmission of radio waves, which are a form of electromagnetic radiation.

frog and IXDS explore the future of lensless smart sensors (LSS)
https://www.rambus.com/blogs/csi-frog-and-ixds-explore-the-future-of-lensless-smart-sensors-lss/Rambus’ lensless smart sensor (LSS) technology took center stage at a recent summit in San Francisco co-hosted by frog San Francisco and IXDS from Berlin. This event represented the culmination of several months of intense design innovation collaboration between Rambus and its “Partners in Open Development (POD).” In this context, they worked together to conceive […]
Powering wearables with TENGs and energy harvesting
https://www.rambusblog.com/2015/09/03/powering-wearables-with-tengs-and-energy-harvesting/#new_tabThe increased popularity of wearable electronic devices has given rise to a number of techniques for extending relatively limited battery life. “Energy harvesting is one such approach, converting ambient energy into electric energy utilizing such devices as onboard solar cells and piezoelectric generators,” reported EDN’s Paul Pickering. “TENGs are another.”

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 […]
Building a secure foundation for wearables
https://www.rambusblog.com/2015/06/22/building-a-secure-foundation-for-wearables/#new_tabDid you know it is technically possible to spy on wearable devices in a gym or coffee shop? Fortunately, as Wareable’s David Nield points out, it’s highly unlikely that anyone who isn’t a security researcher is actually going to bother to try – for now. “The few drops of data available are not worth the […]

Will ‘disappearables’ replace wearables?
https://www.rambusblog.com/2015/05/26/will-disappearables-replace-wearables/#new_tabWriting for Reuters, Jeremy Wagstaff says ‘disappearables’ could very well be the next big thing in mobile. “The pace of innovation and the tumbling cost, and size, of components will make wearables smaller – so small, some in the industry say, that no one will see them,” he explained. “Within five years, wearables like the […]
