In the previous blog post, “Securing Offload Engines for a Robust Secure SoC System,” we briefly looked at some of the methods employed for achieving embedded security, i.e., cryptography, hardware ...

First, a confession. When David and I started writing this series, we envisioned it would be completed after the third part. It appears we were a bit short-sighted. An astute reader challenged us to ...

For more than 10 years, SHA-1 authentication was used to protect intellectual property (IP) from counterfeiting and illegal copying. But now, as information processing has advanced, engineers want an ...

Algebraic manipulation detection (AMD) and authentication codes represent a critical class of cryptographic primitives aimed at ensuring the integrity and authenticity of information. These codes are ...

The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) is recommending a new algorithm for authenticating digital data for federal agencies. Called CMAC (cipher-based message authentication code), ...
