By April 19, 2018May 12th, 2021No Comments

Semiconductor maker Rambus has released a new programmable chip that aims to “establish the trust chain” early in the silicon manufacturing process, amid widespread industry concerns about chip vulnerabilities.
The release comes after security flaws “Meltdown” and “Spectre” were independently disclosed by multiple security researchers, including Rambus’s then-chief scientist Paul Kocher and Mike Hamburg, in January 2018.
The two security flaws exploit critical vulnerabilities across a wide range of modern processors, including Intel, ARM and AMD.

Critics have warned that – particularly amid a proliferation of connected devices – the vulnerability could prove catastrophic.
