DPA countermeasures enhance the security of digital TV offerings
SUNNYVALE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Rambus Inc. (NASDAQ:RMBS) today announced it has extended the license
agreement with NAGRA, a digital TV division of the Kudelski Group
(SIX:KUD.S) and the world's leading independent provider of content
protection and multiscreen television solutions, for the use of its
Differential Power Analysis (DPA) countermeasures in selected NAGRA
digital TV offerings.
"NAGRA has shown that security is a top priority and protection against
side channel attacks is an important component of their solutions," said
Dr. Martin Scott, general manager of the Rambus Security Division. "We
are pleased to extend our DPA countermeasures agreement with NAGRA,
enabling the integration of this technology in some of their broadcast
platforms that deliver premium entertainment to their customers."
DPA countermeasures consist of a broad range of software, hardware, and
protocol techniques that protect tamper-resistant 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.
