Collaboration to deliver complete hardware/software Root of Trust solution
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...
Development board accelerates IoT designs
The range of IoT development boards at Arrow Electronics has been expanded with the addition of SmartEverything Panther. The Panther board enables users to quickly add pattern recognition capabilities to their products to allow them to recognise gestures, sound and vibration patterns and then to simply link them to the cloud via Wi-Fi for monitoring and control purposes.
Physicists add amplifier to quantum communication toolbox
Quantum encryption using single photons is a promising technique for boosting the security of communication systems and data networks, but there are challenges in applying the method over large distances due to transmission losses. Using conventional optical amplification doesn't help as this disrupts the quantum link between sender and receiver, but physicists in Europe have found a solution – heralded photon amplification – and put ...
Network processor takes aim at battery-powered designs
The QoriQ LS1012A processor from NXP Semiconductors is now in stock at Mouser Electronics. The LS1012A delivers enterprise-class performance and security capabilities to consumer and networking applications, all in a 9.6mm × 9.6mm package. Combining a 64-bit ARMv8-based processor with network packet acceleration and QorIQ trust architecture security capabilities, the device features line-rate networking performance at 1W typical power.
Bitcoin could help prevent identity theft
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.
Wi-Fi SDK with Apple HomeKit support now available
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...
Building trust and intelligence in a digitalised world
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...
Partnership aims to integrate security technology
Intrinsic ID and Barco Silex have announced the companies are partnering to offer their customers the benefit of integrated security technologies by enabling the use of Intrinsic ID’s BROADKEY or QUIDDIKEY in combination with Barco Silex’s ESECURE.Intrinsic ID’s BROADKEY and QUIDDIKEY are secure key management solutions that dynamically reconstruct on-chip secret keys without ever storing those keys.
Secure IoT identities
The Internet-of-Things is extremely important today, and security is essential for a smooth running IoT. To achieve this, it is crucial we solve the main challenge of secure identities for constrained IoT devices and find efficient ways to deal with the many identity technologies in use.
Physics could bring faster solutions for computational problems
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...
