Revolutionizes IC manufacturing process through
unprecedented remote secure key provisioning and SoC
configuration
Rambus Inc. (NASDAQ:RMBS) today announced the CryptoManager™
platform, a feature management solution developed by the Rambus
Cryptography Research (CRI) division. The CryptoManager platform
consists of both a Security Engine and an Infrastructure suite that
can dramatically improve efficiency and security during the
manufacturing process. As lead customer, Qualcomm (see related
release also issued today) is integrating the CryptoManager
Security Engine into select SoCs and adopting the Infrastructure
suite as part of its overall manufacturing process.
The CryptoManager Security Engine is a silicon core integrated
into a SoC, providing a hardware root-of-trust for the secure
provisioning, configuration, keying, and authentication of SoCs
during chip and device manufacturing. The CryptoManager
Infrastructure includes hardware appliances for securing in-factory
operations and management systems for protecting the distribution
of authorization and cryptographic keys throughout the chip
manufacturing processes. In addition to helping address security
needs for advanced mobile devices, the overall solution enables
additional efficiencies, including dynamic provisioning for cost
effective device personalization.
“SoC manufacturing is increasingly complicated and expensive.
The ongoing demand for improved time-to-market and lack of
visibility during the complicated manufacturing process restricts
the ability to quickly respond to dynamic market conditions for new
features,” said Paul Kocher, president and chief scientist for the
Rambus Cryptography Research division. “The CryptoManager platform
can dramatically change the chip manufacturing process by helping
chip and handset makers tackle the security challenges of future
mobile devices, allowing for a secure foundation for our connected
lives.”
The CryptoManager platform was specifically designed to be
easily integrated into any manufacturing facility. As part of the
platform, the CryptoManager Security Engine addresses fundamental
security needs such as the on-chip processes involved with the
provisioning and management of cryptographic keys, debug modes, and
chip capabilities. The CryptoManager Infrastructure provides a
single UI across factory locations, real-time visibility into
operations, and remote feature activation. As a result, chip and
handset makers can meet device personalization demands, reduce
operating costs and accelerate time-to-market – all while ensuring
the security of secret keys and sensitive data.
