Cryptography and the Internet of Everything (IoE)

Rambus Blog, Feb. 10, 2016 – 

Ernest Worthman of Semiconductor Engineering recently noted that the rapidly evolving Internet of Everything (IoE) requires a "new breed" of networks to handle data from billions of devices quickly and securely.

"The terms 'high performance' and 'high security' are generally incompatible in the networking world because the security technology in use today bogs down network performance," he explained.

"To have a high level of security requires scrutiny of software and/or hardware components, and the high-security algorithms required to make that happen add overhead and tend to be resource hogs."

Although progress is being made in high-speed cryptography, says Worthman, it is still rather difficult to integrate high-security overlays on high-speed networks.
