Secure IoT designs provide support for platform security
Cypress Semiconductor has announced availability of the Platform Security Architecture (PSA) Trusted Firmware-M reference example from Armfor its PSoC6 microcontrollers (MCUs), enabling a solution that adheres to the highest level of protection as defined by PSA.
Development kit bridges MCU power and performance gap
A collaboration between RS Components (RS), Cypress Semiconductor and MikroElektronika has created Clicker 2 for PSoC 6, a development kit for faster prototyping with Cypress' PSoC 6 ultra-low-power microcontrollers (MCUs). Bridging the gap between expensive, power hungry application processors and low performance MCUs, PSoC 6 MCUs deliver advanced compute performance for energy-conscious devices like IoT endpoints or other small battery-powered ...
Using Bluetooth 5 to connect the IoT
The Internet of Things (IoT) needs reliable, secure, low-energy and low-cost wireless connections to ensure that the Things that are increasingly being introduced into home, work and industrial settings can make that vital link back to their host services. Bluetooth technology looks likely to play an important role in enabling the IoT – 8.2 billion devices are already using the standard and, according to ABI Research, 48 billion devices wil...
Chip reduces consumption of public-key encryption by 99.75%
Most sensitive web transactions are protected by public-key cryptography, a type of encryption that lets computers share information securely without first agreeing on a secret encryption key.Public-key encryption protocols are complicated, and in computer networks, they’re executed by software.
Addressing IoT chip security with manufacturing test services
The recent Meltdown and Spectre problems have highlighted the vulnerability of computer chips to hacking that can, at least, be addressed through software patches. However, another area that is increasingly a target for hackers is IoT where each node in an IoT network can provide an entry point to a company's corporate systems, in a similar manner to the way that home security cameras, robot vacuum cleaners, have been hacked.
Are you ready for the BIoT?
What are the trends that will drive technology and innovation through 2018?In this article John Dignan, Managing Director of Dynamic EMS, shares his views on developing and growing markets, which he believes will impact the scope of services contract Electronics Manufacturing Services (EMS) offer.
Reinventing a city based on blockchain technology
Unless you have been living under a rock for the last few months, you have probably noticedBitcoin gathering media headlines and public interest around the world. But Bitcoin is just the tip of the tech iceberg that is blockchain, the platform on which cryptocurrencies are based. Blockchain is being seen as a virtual retooling of the internet based on peer-to-peer, decentralised technology.
Spectre and Meltdown: how to respond in the embedded world
You could describe the last few weeks as a whirlwind of speculation and revelations around a new set of security issues known as Spectre and Meltdown. Collectively, these issues impact most of the major processor architectures and implementations, prompting the cross-cutting question: ‘What should I do about these issues?’ Guest blog by Tim Skutt.
How can you protect intellectual property?
Two new products have been announced by Microchip,the ATECC608A CryptoAuthentication device, a secure element that allows developers to add hardware-based security to their designs, and a Security Design Partner Programme for connecting developers with third-party partners that can enhance and expedite secure designs.
Memory solution supports AI automotive and networking applications
The new GDDR6 (Graphics Double Data Rate) Memory PHY IP Core has been announced by Rambus, which is targeted for high-performance applications including cryptocurrency mining, artificial intelligence (AI), ADAS (advanced driver assistance systems) and networking.
