Rambus køber Cryptography Research

Rambus, en af de absolut førende memory IP-leverandører, styrkes med købet af Cryptography Research (in english).

Rambus Inc, one of the world’s premier technology licensing companies, has signed a definitive agreement to acquire privately-held Cryptography Research, Inc. (CRI), a leading semiconductor security R&D and licensing company.  

This acquisition will expand the breadth of Rambus’ breakthrough technologies available for licensing with complementary technologies from CRI that include patented innovations and solutions for content protection, network security, anti-counterfeiting and financial services.  Rambus estimates that this acquisition will be accretive on a pro forma basis in 2013.

- The addition of CRI’s world-class security technology is a pivotal step in our strategy to extend our IP leadership and aggressively drive our revenue growth, says Harold Hughes, president and chief executive officer at Rambus. 
- Combined with our complementary semiconductor, and lighting and display technologies, we will create an unrivaled set of innovations and solutions critical for a broad range of electronics, with particular focus on the fast growing mobile market.

Over five billion semiconductor products secured by CRI’s technology are made under license annually.  CRI’s licensees include leading semiconductor, electronics and services companies such as Atmel, Infineon, Microsoft, NXP, Raytheon, Renesas, Samsung, STMicroelectronics, Toshiba, and Visa.  

CRI is led by internationally renowned cryptographer and scientist Paul Kocher, whose accomplishments include helping author the SSL 3.0 standard, discovering differential power analysis (DPA), as well as developing techniques for securing electronic systems against DPA attacks.  

- Rambus will provide our team the perfect home to continue development of technology which addresses an increasingly complex range of security requirements, says Paul Kocher, president and chief scientist of Cryptography Research. 
- With many billions of connected devices conducting electronic transactions, storing important personal data, and delivering copyrighted content, the needs for security are paramount.  Our passion is solving these challenging data security problems through innovative cryptographic techniques to the benefit of our licensed customers and consumers worldwide.

Key technologies developed and licensed by CRI include DPA countermeasures. DPA attacks involve monitoring the fluctuating electrical power consumption of a target device and then using advanced statistical methods to derive cryptographic keys and other secrets. 

With CRI’s DPA countermeasures, electronic systems and security devices, such as smart cards, are protected from DPA attacks.  Critical to electronic system security, DPA protection is now mandated for many government and commercial services.

In addition, CRI offers anti-piracy and anti-counterfeiting solutions including CryptoFirewall technology.  The CryptoFirewall core is a separate, on-chip, hardware-based security block that protects cryptographic keys and computations from attack.  CryptoFirewall solutions can be used across a broad spectrum of applications including Pay TV security and counterfeit protection of printer consumables.
