Flash programmer protects firmware images
SEGGER’s Target Encrypted Link Package (TELP) protects intellectual property (IP) from end to end, including the last few inches of the device. IP owners and contract manufacturers alike benefit from having the owners in complete control of the programming process. The contract manufacturer never has access to the cleartext of a firmware image and both […]
Post-quantum crypto standardization — background
At some point in the not-too-distant future, it’s expected that quantum computing will pose a security risk to all currently used encryption techniques. Most current encryption methods are based on the challenges associated with factoring large numbers into their prime factors. They provide good levels of security when classical computers are being used. Still, quantum […]
