SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Cryptography Research (CRI), a division of Rambus Inc. (NASDAQ:RMBS),
today announced that Marvell has chosen its anti-counterfeiting
technology, the CryptoFirewall™ core, for inclusion in the Marvell PA800
Consumable Security chip. The CRI Consumable CryptoFirewall (CCF)
technology will be incorporated into the PA800 solution, providing
advanced levels of security, authentication and/or secure usage tracking
to verify system integrity. The PA800 is a very low-cost, low pin-count
chip that enables devices to cryptographically verify both authenticity
and usage across their lifecycle.
