from side-channel attacks
SUNNYVALE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Rambus
Inc. (NASDAQ:RMBS) today announced that NVIDIA (NASDAQ:NVDA), the
pioneer of GPU-accelerated computing, has licensed its Differential
Power Analysis (DPA) countermeasures to protect its visual computing
products against side-channel attacks. NVIDIA products help drive
performance for some of the world's most demanding users including
gamers, designers and scientists. The products, services and software
developed by NVIDIA power amazing experiences in artificial
intelligence, autonomous cars, virtual reality and professional
visualization.
"As the electronics industry continues to experience great advancements,
innovative companies need to continuously assess the security risk
associated with higher levels of connectivity," said Dr. Martin Scott,
general manager of the Rambus Security Division. "By integrating DPA
countermeasures into their products, NVIDIA is at the forefront of
ensuring the integrity of their solutions in a variety of advanced

DPA countermeasures, developed by Rambus Cryptography Research, consist
of a broad range of software, hardware, and protocol techniques that
protect devices. 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 be used to obtain
cryptographic keys and other sensitive information from semiconductors
and devices.
