A reaction to the 2008 financial crisis, Bitcoin is a digital-currency scheme designed to wrest control of the monetary system from central banks. With Bitcoin, anyone can mint money, provided he or she can complete a complex computation quickly enough. Through a set of clever protocols, that computational hurdle prevents the system from being coopted by malicious hackers.

Microchip has announced the availability of a fully-certified Wi-Fi SDK with Apple HomeKit support. This SDK enables MFi licensees to create fast, low-power designs on the industry’s first hardware cryptography-enabled Wi-Fi-based development kit for HomeKit.Microchip’s Wi-Fi SDK combines hardware cryptography suites within the CEC1702, a full-featured ARMCortex-M4-based MCU, with the industry-proven WINC1510, a low-power 802.11 b/g/n...

ETH Zurich researchers and alumni now working in high-tech industries or running their own companies met with other experts in New York City to talk about the disruptive technology of Blockchain and how machine learning brings both collaboration and consequences. Bringing together diverse perspectives, the ETH Meets New York symposia revealed the fascinating potential of these technologies as well as the ethical questions society faces as it adop...

Researchers from the University of Central Florida and Boston University have developed a novel approach to solve difficult computational problems more quickly. As inNature Communications, they've discovered a way of applying statistical mechanics, a branch of physics, to create more efficient algorithms that can run on traditional computers or a new type of quantum computational machine, said Professor Eduardo Mucciolo, chair of the Department o...

InfoSec Global and Synopsys have announced a collaboration to provide a comprehensive, embedded Root of Trust solution that integrates InfoSec Global's Agile Cryptography capabilities with Synopsys' DesignWare tRoot Hardware Secure Module. The combined solution will provide designers with the programming interfaces needed to customize and differentiate their system-on-chips (SoCs) for highly secure industrial IoT applications such as programmable...

For 60 years computers have become smaller, faster and cheaper. But engineers are approaching the limits of how small they can make silicon transistors and how quickly they can push electricity through devices to create digital ones and zeros.That limitation is why Stanford electrical engineering Professor Jelena Vuckovic is looking to quantum computing, which is based on light rather than electricity.

Flexible and robust with added security features, Texas Instruments' newest, dual-mode Bluetooth device has been introduced. The CC2564C with Bluetooth 4.2 is a suitable solution for Point Of Sale (POS), medical and wearable devices. The CC2564C updated design features the advanced Bluetooth LE secure connection pairing. This foundation enables pairing using the Elliptic Curve Diffie-Hellman (ECDH) public key cryptography algorithm.

It has been announced by Rajant, that Sharp Electronics Corporation (‘SEC’) will use its Kinetic Mesh technology as the wireless communications infrastructure for the Sharp INTELLOS Automated Unmanned Ground Vehicle (‘A-UGV’).The mobility, reliability and scalability of Rajant’s network were key reasons for the company’s selection.Its BreadCrumb radios, InstaMesh networking software, military-grade security and...

Swissbit has expanded its range of SD and microSD cards for counterfeit-proof and access-protected data storage in Bodycams. Encryption functionality labelled with the product code "DP" for "Data Protection" enables a sensible and legally viable use of cameras that are attached to the uniforms of personnel: a permanent video recording from the perspective of officials or security officers, which can only be accesses by authorised personnel and ca...

Cypress Semiconductor has announced PSoC 6, its newest microcontroller (MCU) architecture that is purpose-built for the IoT. The architecture is built on low power 40-nm process technology and delivers the lowest power and most flexible solution, with integrated security features required for next gen IoT devices.
