The arena of creating secure environments in the hardware and software industries is somewhat shrouded in mystery and misunderstanding. Certainly, some types of ciphers are relatively straightforward and uncomplicated. For example, there is one called the Caesar cipher, which is one of the most prolific, and simple encryption techniques.
Security IP
Athena Security IPs Designed to Mend Holes in SoCs
The need to protect connected systems — cars, mobile phones, smart grids, connected factories and any other IoT devices — by using security chips with crypto keys is growing rapidly, while not clearly answering a critical question: How do we know if the security chips designed into such connected systems aren’t leaking key information?
Cybersecurity Intensifies the Tension Between Banks and Retailers
Banks and retailers arene’t competitors in any conventional sense. Yet their industries are often at each other’s throat. They scuffle over the way money flows between them.
Outlook 2015: Securing the IoT starts at the core
Ensuring the secure transfer of IoT data is a critical industry priority, as billions of devices will be connected wirelessly to the Internet of Things by 2020. Indeed, a wide range of connected devices and platforms are already generating and moving exabytes (10^18) of sensitive information along the IoT’s expansive digital autobahns. – See more at: http://www.newelectronics.co.uk/electronics-magazine/supplements/outlook/outlook-2015-securing-the-iot-starts-at-the-core/65782/#sthash.JhElfLl3.dpuf
Rambus, Qualcomm Team Up to Make Phones More Secure
Rambus this week introduced CryptoManager, a new end-to-end security platform for makers of mobile processors which includes a silicon-based security core and various safeguards for protecting IP and data breaches.
End-To-End Security Starts With The SoC
Security is a long term effort that needs to start when a system is designed and this includes the hardware. RAMBUS’ CryptoManager technology is designed to provide this end-to-end security support (Fig. 1).
