Rambus Security Division general manager Dr Martin Scott said: “The threat of DPA attacks is on the rise, and companies like Boeing need the utmost security solutions to safeguard its customers’ high-value data.
“By licensing our DPA countermeasures, Boeing showcases its commitment to building products with the highest level of security.”
Concerns over DPA security attacks have initially originated in the smart card market; however, these attacks have now spread into other segments, including aerospace and defence.
DPA is a kind of side-channel attack, with monitoring required for variations in electrical power consumption or EM emissions from a target device.
