World’s largest aerospace company implements
advanced security technologies to prevent against the threat of
reverse engineering and exploitation
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 additional information, please visit
