SecureRF Corporation CEO Louis Parks will give a TechTen talk at the General Dynamics Missions Systems Small Business Tech Conference in Washington, DC, on Aug. 22, 2017. Parks will speak about challenges and options for securing and future-proofing low-resource processors used in defense and aerospace systems.
Securing the low-resource devices that are the foundation of defense and aerospace systems is a challenge. The inherent limitation of 8-bit and 16-bit processors, which dominate this sector’s landscape, is that they lack the computing and memory resources needed to implement today’s standard security methods.
Parks will present SecureRF’s authentication and data protection solutions – which include the Walnut Digital Signature Algorithm (WalnutDSA) and Ironwood Key Agreement Protocol – for the low-resource processors deployed throughout the IoT. Acording to the compnay, SecureRF’s authentication solutions are ultra-low power, which enables engineers to extend the life of a battery-powered device in the field.
“Low-resource processors power the sensors, actuators, and other command and control solutions in both commercial and defense sectors, but they are very hard to secure. The task is made even more difficult with the need to future-proof these systems,” Parks said.
