The Security Risks of Silicon Complexity
https://www.rambus.com/blogs/the-security-risks-of-silicon-complexity/Ben Levine, Senior Director of Security Product Marketing at Rambus, recently spoke with Semiconductor Engineering editor-in-chief Ed Sperling about the various security challenges associated with creating complex silicon. According to Levine, there are two primary issues associated with CPUs, SoCs and embedded systems becoming increasingly complex. “Firstly, there are more things (components) that can be […]
Most Complex Processor Chip for AI Acceleration
https://www.rambus.com/blogs/most-complex-processor-chip-for-ai-acceleration/EE Times reports that Graphcore of Bristol, UK has put on the market a new type of processor for AI acceleration. It’s called the intelligence processing unit (IPU). According to CEO Nigel Toon, the IPU processor, is the most complex processor chip that’s ever been built. It’s described as “just shy of 24 billion transistors on a […]
Full Disk Encryption of Solid State Drives and Root of Trust
https://go.rambus.com/full-disk-encryption-of-solid-state-drives-and-root-of-trust#new_tabFile encryption, file system encryption and full disk encryption (FDE) are methods offered by the industry to allow users to protect their data stored on non-volatile storage devices, such as Solid State Disks (SSD). The main feature of FDE is to protect stored system and user date from unauthorized reading, writing, alteration, moving or rolling back. However, extended security […]
Ben Levine Writes About CMRT Benefits in Embedded Computing Design Magazine
https://www.rambus.com/blogs/cmrt-benefits-in-embedded-computing-design-magazine/Ben Levine, Sr. Director, Product Marketing, Cryptography Products Division, recently penned an article in Embedded Computing Design Magazine letting SoC and system designers know that “isolation among applications in some security processors is dicey at best. It’s best to take the right security processor route with multiple roots of trust and complete application isolation” He […]
Tech Firms Lax On Embedded Security
https://www.rambus.com/blogs/tech-firms-lax-on-embedded-security/The glaring headline in a ComputerWeekly.com post is that “Nearly a quarter of tech firms do not security check their products.” The paper’s security editor, Warwick Ashford, wrote that nearly a quarter of organizations polled do not run security checks on products, and nearly a third admitted to shipping products with known security vulnerabilities. Ashford’s […]
How not to get pwned @ automotive cyber-security
https://www.rambus.com/blogs/how-not-to-get-pwned-automotive-cyber-security/Hacking a Tesla The past few weeks have been a busy time for white hat hackers demonstrating cyber-security vulnerabilities in connected vehicles. Firstly, Keen Labs researchers published a report that details how to hack a Tesla Model S by remotely controlling the steering wheel with a gamepad. “When the car is parked, we can take […]

Rambus’ Ben Levine talks IoT security and cryptography with EDA Café
https://www.rambus.com/blogs/rambus-ben-levine-talks-iot-security-and-cryptography-with-eda-cafe/Ben Levine, Senior Director of Product Marketing at Rambus, recently sat down with Sanjay Gangal of EDA Café to discuss IoT security and cryptography. According to Levine, security should be embedded in every chip. More specifically, says Levine, a separate hardware-based security core can help protect both the SoC itself and the system it powers. […]
Chipmakers: In the Horns of a Dilemma
https://www.rambus.com/blogs/chipmakers-in-the-horns-of-a-dilemma/Not since the inventions of the silicon transistor and integrated circuit (IC) have chipmakers found themselves in a quandary like the one they’re currently experiencing. That’s the essence of Michael Cobb’s article in TechTarget.com/SearchSecurity. His lead paragraph says it all: “Functionality versus security, ease of use versus security and performance versus security: These are the […]
Is Post-Quantum Cryptography Necessary?
https://www.rambus.com/blogs/is-post-quantum-cryptography-necessary/The burning question in some security scientists’ minds these days is: “Will post-quantum cryptographic algorithms be necessary in the future?” Hanno Böck writes in the TechTarget.com/SearchSecurity site that cryptographers are today looking for these new algorithms, called post-quantum cryptography. So, you ask, what the heck is that? Few people know about this according to this […]
