Cryptography Research, Inc. (CRI), a division of Rambus Inc. RMBS,
and Fairchild Semiconductor Corporation FCS today announced they
have signed a patent license agreement allowing for the use of CRI's patented
inventions in Fairchild's integrated circuits. With CRI's patented technology,
Fairchild's tamper-resistant integrated circuits are more securely protected
against differential power analysis (DPA) and related attacks. This license
also covers software developed by Fairchild's customers when utilized on
Fairchild's licensed integrated circuits.
“In today's market, protection against power analysis attacks is becoming
essential and this agreement enables us to provide our customers with strong
security across all of our product lines,” said Dan Godbout, Marketing
Director at Fairchild Semiconductor. “The DPA countermeasures technology
developed by Cryptography Research is integral to the robust security
solutions we are developing to protect our customers against tampering and
other attacks.”
“Fairchild Semiconductor is a leading global supplier of high performance
power management and mobile semiconductor products and we are proud to count
them among our licensees,” said Pankaj Rohatgi, technical director at
Cryptography Research. “DPA countermeasures are crucial to securing electronic
systems and we are excited about furthering the adoption and integration of
our technology into Fairchild's anti-tamper integrated circuit solutions.“
DPA is a form of attack that involves monitoring the fluctuating electrical
power consumption of a target device and then using advanced statistical
methods to derive cryptographic keys and other secrets. Strong countermeasures
to DPA help protect tamper-resistant products used in applications such as
banking, pay television, mass transit, secure ID, and wireless
telecommunications. Cryptography Research has developed a portfolio of over 70
issued patents covering countermeasures to DPA attacks, with additional patent
applications allowed or pending.
