DPA Countermeasures will protect data integrity
in flash memory components against security attacks
Rambus Inc. (NASDAQ:RMBS) today announced that Winbond
Electronics Corporation, a leading maker of top quality memory
solutions, has licensed Rambus Cryptography Research differential
power analysis, or DPA, countermeasures to protect
industry-leading, flash memory components. By implementing
Cryptography Research DPA countermeasures, Winbond ensures the data
integrity of products that run applications requiring a high level
of security, including mobile payments, premium content,
automotive, and Internet of Things (IoT).
“As we set out to provide our customers with the most secure
hardware solutions, we know that protecting against the threat of
side-channel attacks is a priority – especially in the mobile
payments arena,” said Chester Hwang, Business Unit Leader of Secure
memory solutions of Winbond. “Rambus DPA countermeasures ensure
that Winbond’s TrustMETM flash memory components are protected from
these types of attacks.”
The DPA countermeasures from Cryptography Research have enabled
Winbond to meet today’s rigorous hardware security requirements.
Specifically, DPA countermeasures will protect against risks in
Winbond’s series of TrustMETM flash memory components.
“As mobile devices or IoT objects increasingly manage sensitive
data and encrypted transactions, it becomes more important than
ever to safeguard them against security threats,” said Paul Kocher,
chief scientist of the Rambus Cryptography Research division. “Our
DPA countermeasures allow Windbond to develop DPA resistant flash
memory components that are capable of passing high-level industry
security certifications.”
DPA is a type of side-channel attack that monitors variations in
the electrical power consumption or EM emissions from a target
device. These measurements can then be used to obtain cryptographic
keys and other sensitive information from chips. Rambus DPA
countermeasures offer a proven solution to warding off these
attacks, protecting devices against the extraction of critical,
private data.
