World's largest aerospace company implements advanced security
technologies to prevent against the threat of reverse engineering and
exploitation
SUNNYVALE, Calif. & CHICAGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Rambus
Inc. (NASDAQ: RMBS) today announced that its Cryptography Research
Division and The Boeing Company (NYSE: BA), the world's largest
aerospace company and the leading manufacturer of commercial jetliners
and military aircraft combined, have signed a license agreement for the
inclusion of advanced differential power analysis (DPA) countermeasures
in Boeing products. Rambus Cryptography Research DPA countermeasures
enable Boeing to protect against security attacks that are used to
reverse engineer or exploit critical technologies built into aircraft
and other defense-related products.
"The threat of DPA attacks is on the rise, and companies like Boeing
need the utmost security solutions to safeguard its customers'
high-value data," said Dr. Martin Scott, general manager of the Rambus
Security Division. "By licensing our DPA countermeasures, Boeing
showcases its commitment to building products with the highest level of
security."
Concerns about DPA security attacks have originated in the smart card
market, but these attacks have been spreading into other segments,
including aerospace and defense. Government and military systems can be
protected from cyber adversaries with a hardware-centric security
approach, which helps prevent the threat of reverse engineering and
exploitation.
DPA is a type of side-channel attack that involves monitoring variations
in the electrical power consumption or EM emissions from a target
device. These measurements can then be used to derive cryptographic keys
and other sensitive information from chips. Rambus DPA countermeasures
are a proven solution for protecting devices against the extraction of
cryptographic keys and private data through side-channel attacks. Highly
flexible, these solutions can be optimized for performance, size and
security level, allowing customers to help fend off unauthorized access
to critical information.
Rambus Cryptography Research has developed a comprehensive portfolio of
application-specific hardware core and software library solutions that
can be used to build DPA resistant products. Strong countermeasures can
protect devices and applications used for government and military
purposes, finance, mass transit and wireless communications. For
