Agreement provides protection against DPA and
other side-channel attacks in mobile and other connected
devices
Rambus Inc. (NASDAQ:RMBS) today announced that its Cryptography
Research division has signed a license agreement with Altis
Semiconductor for the use of advanced security technologies. These
technologies, developed by Cryptography Research, include
differential power analysis (DPA) countermeasure techniques and are
designed to protect against DPA and other side-channel attacks.
This agreement also extends to software developed by Altis
Semiconductor customers when executed on certain Altis
Semiconductor manufactured chips.
“As more devices are connected, the need for superior security
and protection against attacks is paramount,” said Arnaud Salomon,
Executive Vice President at Altis Semiconductor. “By incorporating
DPA countermeasures from Cryptography Research, integral components
are made available for the robust security solutions of our
customers.”
“DPA countermeasures are a crucial element to securing
electronic systems worldwide,” said Paul Kocher, president and
chief scientist of the Rambus Cryptography Research division.
“We’re proud to work with Altis Semiconductor to ensure that
anti-tamper processor solutions are equipped with the most secure
solutions.”
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. For additional information on
