Optimized for ease of use and productivity to help identify
vulnerabilities to side-channel attacks
SUNNYVALE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Rambus
Inc. (NASDAQ:RMBS) today announced the release of
the DPA Workstation 8 analysis platform, featuring an extensive upgrade
to the workstation software and user interface for enhanced system
performance and usability in ASIC and FPGA side-channel vulnerability
testing. Designed to test and analyze hardware and software
cryptographic implementations, and to determine vulnerabilities to power
and electromagnetic side-channel attacks, DPAWS enables customers to
quickly and easily identify and address potential security flaws in
tamper-resistant systems and SoCs.
"As the value of data continues to increase, many players in the
security industry are taking action to protect their devices from the
threat of side-channel attacks," said Martin Scott, senior vice
president and general manager of the Security Division at Rambus. "By
using DPA Workstation 8 to analyze and test a device, customers are able
to quickly and easily assess any vulnerabilities that an FPGA, ASIC, CPU
or microcontroller may have to side-channel analysis, and address them
with confidence in their results."
DPA is a powerful tool attackers use to extract secret keys and
compromise the security of tamper resistant devices. It is a
side-channel attack that is extremely effective, using variations in the
electrical power consumption, or EM emissions, of targeted devices to
breach security using statistical methods to derive secret keys from
crypto algorithms.
DPA Workstation 8 is a powerful and flexible side-channel analysis
platform that features an integrated suite of hardware and data
visualization software, aiding in the identification and understanding
of vulnerabilities in cryptographic chips. The workstation features a
brand new integrated analysis application that includes:
-
A project library manager to aid in the rapid analysis of collected
data by delivering an integrated view of multiple data sets, scripts
and analyses;
-
An all new powerful trace display with an intuitive interface for easy
analysis; and
-
Integrated scripting modules for MatLab and Python to allow for easier
analysis and increased productivity.
New features are covered in a comprehensive integrated help utility
complete with numerous tutorials and examples. To learn more about the
