Advanced hardware-based security technologies
protect against side channel attacks
Rambus Inc. (NASDAQ:RMBS) today announced that its Cryptography
Research division has licensed security technologies to Thales
e-Security, a leader in information systems and communications
security. In this agreement, Thales will integrate DPA
Countermeasure technologies developed by Cryptography Research into
its line of hardware security modules (HSMs) to protect against
side-channel and related attacks. Specific terms of the agreement
are confidential.
“Thales’ products are designed to stay ahead of the increasingly
pervasive with sophisticated attacks being developed every day,”
said Cindy Provin, VP Strategy & Marketing at Thales
e-Security. “Protections against side-channel attacks will be an
added important element in our robust solutions.”
“We are seeing threats intensify as there are increasing demands
to keep keys protected to conduct secure transactions,” said Paul
Kocher, chief scientist of the Rambus Cryptography Research
division. “Thales is a critical player in the overall security
space and this agreement shows their continued commitment to
safeguarding information.”
Side channel and DPA attacks are non-invasive attacks that
involve monitoring the fluctuating electrical power consumption of
a target device and then using advanced statistical methods to
derive cryptographic keys and other secrets. Strong countermeasures
to these attacks help protect tamper-resistant products used in
applications such as banking, pay television, mass transit, secure
ID, and wireless telecommunications.
