IoT Security – the next-gen of social responsibility
In response to recent events, the White House and the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have just released the much awaited and polished guidance around cyber security for the Internet of Things (IoT). Guest blog byNeil McLellan.
Crypto-enhanced MCUs target always-on sensor acquisition
Two microcontroller lines from STMicroelectronics increase energy efficiency, flexibility, and feature integration at the high end of the STM32F4 Access Line for high-performance embedded designs. Qualified up to 125°C, these STM32 devices target always-on sensor acquisition and general-purpose industrial applications and present a robust and cost-effective upgrade from STM32F1 MCUs.
How to protect connected home devices from cyber attacks
In July of 2014, HP Labs did a study of 10 popular IoT devices and found security was shockingly bad. The researchers studied 10 devices, looking at end-to-end security capabilities including privacy protection, authorisation, encryption, user interface protection, and code security. They found 70% of the devices had at least one major vulnerability. At the end of their study, researchers identified over 250 vulnerabilities, an average of 25 per ...
Device enables more secure connected systems
The ATECC508A CryptoAuthentication device from Atmel, now a part of Microchip Technology, is in stock at Mouser Electronics. Delivering ultra-secure cryptographic elements that enable more secure connected systems, the ATECC508A is ideal for a variety of IoT applications in the areas of home automation, industrial networking, IoT node security and ID, message security and authentication, ecosystem control, and anti-cloning.
What is the problem with IoT security?
You have probably heard the term 'the Internet of Things' (IoT) being thrown about, according to some it is the next big revolution after mobile, for others it is more hype than reality. The truth is somewhere in between. However one thing is sure the number of computing devices connected to the internet is growing, and growing fast,Gary Sims explains.
Secure authenticator enhances device integrity protection
The DS28C36 DeepCover secure authenticator from Maxim Integrated is available at Mouser Electronics. It provides additional levels of IP and device integrity protection for industrial, medical, and Internet of Things (IoT) products. The device provides a targeted set of asymmetric-key (ECC-P256) and symmetric-key (SHA-256) cryptographic tools in a low-cost and compact solution to defend against product counterfeiting, unsafe reuse of medical acce...
World's first qubit device produced in standard CMOS process
Leti, an institute of CEA Tech, along with Inac, a fundamental research division of CEA, and the University of Grenoble Alpes have achieved the first demonstration of a quantum-dot-based spin qubit using an industry-standard fabrication process.Published in Nature Communications, and the topic of an invited paper at IEDM 2016, this proof-of-concept breakthrough uses a device fabricated on a 300-mm CMOS fab line.
Security modules extend support for online security
Two security modules have been introduced bySTMicroelectronics that provide an industry-validated shield to protect computers and smart connected devices against cyber attacks.
Software extension strengthens chip security
New host drivers and an upgrade of the software environment for the TPS-1 PROFINET IRT Device Chip have been announced by Renesas Electronics Europe. The new software version, based on the latest PROFINET standard, simplifies the PROFINET certification process and speeds up the time-to-market for new PROFINET developments.
DeepCover microcontroller simplifies EMV contactless payment
Manufacturers of mPOS terminals, ATM keyboards, EMV card readers, contact/contactless pin pads, and other mobile payment devices can now save PCB space and reduce the BOM, while bringing their products to market faster with the MAX32560 DeepCover secure microcontroller from Maxim Integrated Products.Designers of mobile payment devices currently have to use multiple external ICs for memory expansion, contactless interface and amplifier, ISO7816 PH...
