Rambus Licenses Its DPA Countermeasures to NVIDIA


Rambus Inc. (NASDAQ:RMBS) today announced that NVIDIA (News - Alert) (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 (News - Alert) 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 application areas."

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.
