The world’s first UHF RAIN RFID tag IC to combine long-range read performance with cryptographic authentication has been released by NXP Semiconductors. With the UCODE DNA developers no longer have to choose between contactless performance and the need for security in their applications as the tag IC enables them to have access to both.

NXP Semiconductors has announced that it will acquire Athena SCS. The acquisition will further strengthen NXP’s offering in providing secure solutions across a multitude of IoT, portable, wearable and automotive applications.

Microsemi hasannounced a reference design with Escrypt GmbH that utilises the security features of SmartFusion2 SoC FPGAs and IGLOO2 FPGAs along with Escrypt's CycurKEYS cloud-based Certificate Authority (CA). The collaboration with Escrypt reinforces Microsemi’s position as a secure SoC FPGA leader and enhances its strategy for providing crucial solutions that secure the IoT.

Designed for the IoT market, the ATECC508A CryptoAuthentication IC has been released by Atmel. According to the company, the device is the first in the market to integrate the Elliptic Curve Diffie–Hellman (ECDH) security protocol and the Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm (ECDSA) sign-verify authentication.

Barco Silex has announced that it has added support for the Apple HomeKit to its Public Key IP core, in the form of Curve25519 and EdDSA. Barco Silex is the first IP provider offering hardware acceleration for these algorithms, which are especially suited to secure IoT applications.

Securing M2M communications using a physical unclonable function. By G. Richard Newell, Senior Principal Product Architect, SoC Group, Microsemi.

Microsemi's SmartFusion2 SoC FPGA and IGLOO2 FPGA now feature Physically Unclonable Function (PUF) technology licensed from Intrinsic-ID, providing system designers with a more secure solution for developing IoT applications.According to Microsemi, its SmartFusion2 SoC FPGA and IGLOO2 FPGA are the industry’s first and only FPGAs to integrate hardened PUF technology. The company implemented the technology using on-chip SRAM, which allowed it...

Barco Silex announces that Dialog Semiconductor has successfully integrated the Barco Silex BA431 IP core into its short range wireless communication ASIC. The core is a FIPS-140-2-certified Deterministic Random Bit Generator (DRBG) combined with a True Random Number Generator (TRNG), designed to enable secure cryptography.

The completion of nineNIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology) CAVP (Cryptographic Algorithm Validation Program) certifications has been announced by Microsemi. These certifications validate the high levels of security offered by the company’s SmartFusion2 SoC FPGAs and IGLOO2 FPGAs.

COUNT-S, a series of single photon counters designed for students, has been released Laser Components. Available with an active area of 500µm, the series features detection efficiencies of 65% at 670nm and 45% at 810nm. Dark count rates in the range of 1000-5000cps are also provided counters, making the counters low cost.
