Quantum satellite device to be used for global network
Researchers from the National University of Singapore (NUS) and the University of Strathclyde, UK, have become the first to test in orbit technology for satellite-based quantum network nodes.They have put a compact device carrying components used in quantum communication and computing into orbit. And it works: the team report first data in a paper published in the journalPhysical Review Applied.
Qualcomm extends Snapdragon Wear lineup
Qualcomm Incorporated has announced at COMPUTEX 2016 that its subsidiary, Qualcomm Technologies, is introducing the Qualcomm Snapdragon Wear 1100 processor for the fast growing targeted-purpose wearables segments such as connected kid and elderly watches, fitness trackers, smart headsets, and wearable accessories. The Snapdragon Wear 1100 processor complements the Snapdragon Wear 2100 processor, which is designed for multi-purpose wearables, and ...
Getting connected and staying secure
When it comes to protecting IoT devices OEMs can no longer rely on obscurity or a secure perimeter model. As Icon Labs explain, security must begin at home with a device capable of defending itself against network attacks.
The best wireless applications designed
IQRF Wireless Challenge II, the contest for the best wireless applications, revealed its winners. There were 47 contestants from 14 countries registered in the contest. The final round was an interactive exhibition of the top ten projects. It took place at the Faculty of Electrical Engineering of Czech Technical University in Prague on May 27, 2016. The best applications were designed by participants from the Czech Republic, Hungary and Romania.
Fuel gauge eliminates the need for battery characterisation
Easing and securing the implementation of pack-side battery gauges in portable devices, the ModelGauge m5 portfolio has been announced by Maxim Integrated Products. The MAX17201/MAX17205 and MAX17211/MAX17215 fuel gauges are claimed by the manufacturer to be the industry’s first to integrate SHA-256 for secure authentication to prevent battery clones.
STM32F7 development boards accelerate embedded design
STMicroelectronics has released entry-level, mid-range and high-end development boards for the latest members of its STM32F7 MCU series, which are now entering volume production with up to 2MB of on-chip Flash memory and peripherals that help create rich user interfaces. Providing timely support for design starts, the development tools include a low-cost STM32 Nucleo-144 board featuring the STM32F767 variant.
Protect legacy equipment from cyber-attacks
Icon Labs has announced availability of the low cost and easy to install Floodgate Defender firewall appliance. The compact Floodgate Defender Mark III measures just 4x3.75x1.25" and provides a critical layer of security for legacy devices that comprise the IoT including SCADA networks, military equipment, critical infrastructure controllers and medical devices.
Could IoT devices really be the next victims for ransomware?
The Internet of Things (IoT) is attracting its fair share of fear, uncertainty and doubt these days. Take for example a recent report from ICIT entitled, ‘Combatting the Ransomware Blitzkreig’. In it, the authors James Scott and Drew Spaniel make the point that, “It is not inconceivable that malware, and ransomware in particular, will eventually target IoT devices.”
Laying the foundations for secure IoT applications
To turn ASIC and SoC designs into fully-secured IoT (Internet of Things) applications, a new IP module has been introduced by Barco Silex. The eSecure module functions as a root-of-trust, guaranteeing the authenticity and integrity of the application’s hardware, software, data and communication. It offloads all security operations to hardware and scales according to the needs of the application. Its cryptographic engine supports all the lat...
