If Memory Serves: IoT Growth Opens the Door for OTP NVM
By 2020 more than 50 billion devices will be connected to the internet ― according to Cisco’s latest forecast. Smartphone traffic will exceed PC traffic and broadband speeds will nearly double by 2021. And by the next Winter Olympics (Beijing 2022), 1 trillion networked sensors could be embedded in the world around us. While tech experts offer slightly different projections of actual numbers, it’s clear that the Internet of Things (IoT) will grow exponentially. And this explosion means new opportunities for one-time programmable (OTP) non-volatile memory (NVM).

NIST Validates Synopsys Cryptography IP Software Library
Chip designers can use Synopsys technology to accelerate Cryptographic Module Validation Program (CMVP) and Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS) 140-2 certification for applications requiring high levels of security. FIPS 140-2 validation is only required if a hardware security module is to be sold to the U.S. government and if it uses cryptography in a security system that handles sensitive but unclassified information. However, it can also be a powerful security product differentiator in the commercial market.
