DPA countermeasures safeguard hardware security
modules against side-channel attacks
Rambus Inc. (NASDAQ:RMBS) today announced it has renewed its DPA
countermeasures license agreement with Thales e-Security. Under
this new five-year agreement, the Thales line of hardware security
modules (HSMs) will be protected against side-channel attacks in a
variety of systems, including high-performance data center
appliances. Specific terms of the agreement are confidential.
“Cyber-threats and attacks are becoming increasingly
sophisticated and pervasive. Thales products are designed to help
organizations stay ahead of the security game by protecting
sensitive information from compromise,” said Cindy Provin, chief
strategy and marketing officer at Thales e-Security. “By adding
Rambus DPA countermeasures, we are able to protect against
side-channel attacks, which adds an important element in our robust
data security solutions.”
DPA countermeasures, developed by Rambus Cryptography Research,
consist of a broad range of software, hardware and protocol
techniques that protect devices from side-channel attacks. DPA is a
type of side-channel attack that monitors variations in the
electrical power consumption or electro-magnetic emissions from a
target device. These measurements can then be used to obtain
cryptographic keys and other sensitive information from
semiconductors.
“Thales recognizes the various threats posed by side-channel
attacks and has developed solutions that help their customers in
businesses, governments, and technology sectors mitigate the
growing risk associated with these types of attacks,” said Dr.
Martin Scott, senior vice president and general manager of the
Security Division at Rambus. “Strong countermeasures against these
attacks provide the security needed to protect sensitive data and
make sure attacks are thwarted.”
DPA countermeasures are implemented in tamper-resistant products
used in applications for aerospace and defense, secure
communications, automotive, mobile, and content protection among
others. For additional information on DPA Countermeasures, visit
