An Intel hardware based digital random number technology could mitigate recent RSA security flaw

Robert Chesebrough (Intel) — Wed, 22 Feb 2012 19:14:53 +0000

Mathematicians from Europe and the United States are reporting a flaw in the RSA encryption method that apparently hinges on crypto keys being created with insufficient randomness. Enter Intel’s Bull Mountain technology. Bull Mountain is a hardware based digital random number generator which will be released this year when the processor, code named “Ivy Bridge” is launched. Bull Mountain allows digital random numbers to be generated at near clock cycle speeds and with a very high degree of randomness or “entropy”. Continue reading →

When I was six, if a stranger asked me, “What do you want to do when you grow up?” I would have immediately responded with, “I want to be an actress.” Simple, right? I’d play with my Play-Doh, put on … Continue reading → Continue reading →

5 Effective Ways to Use Twitter for Business

Wendy Thomas — Tue, 21 Feb 2012 20:58:38 +0000

When using Twitter for business, you want to keep in mind that you’re building relationships. It’s a dance with people you can’t see and who may or may not end up being future customers or clients.

Here are 5 ways to use Twitter in order to build your company’s presence.

1 – Keep your ears open.

Use Twitter Search to ‘listen’ for your company’s name, your competitors’ names, and keywords for your business. You can search via a specific Twitter handle (@Intel), regular name (Intel), or through hashtag terms (#techninnovation). It’s a way to eavesdrop without being rude. Search allows you to stay on top of current trends, know the good and the bad of what people are saying about you, and deal with potential problems before they become major headaches.

2 – Have a personal touch for the company account.

Show the Twitter handles of the real people who are posting for the company account. For example, the SAP (@SAP) profile says: The official Twitter feed of SAP. All Tweets by @SocialKev unless otherwise noted. It lets your audience know they’re having real conversations. If you only list one name, makes sure to update the profile when responsibility shifts due to holidays, vacations, sick days, and so on.

3 – Keep self-promotion to a minimum. Focus the majority of your tweets...(Read more....)

Smaller Devices Through Radio Integration

Yorgos Palaskas — Sun, 19 Feb 2012 08:00:03 +0000

Wireless connectivity is a prerequisite in most user devices today, from laptops, to phones, tablets, e-readers, etc. Usually radios reside on a separate die from the application processor, resulting in bulkier devices. Integration of the radio and application processor would enable smaller form factors for slimmer devices (maybe even miniature wearable devices), and can also reduce the cost of the overall solution. The low cost of such integrated processor+radio platform can further enable a host of new applications towards the vision of the “internet of things” where devices such as home appliances, sensors, etc communicate with each other, exchange information and can be actuated remotely.

Can I still get an Energy Efficient Free Lunch?

Clay Breshears (Intel) — Fri, 17 Feb 2012 23:49:28 +0000

When the semiconductor industry was turning to multicore chips and lowering clock rates, Herb Sutter wrote a seminal article entitled "The Free Lunch is Over: A Fundamental Turn Toward Concurrency in Software." Up to that point software developers relied on the increasing clock speeds (the "free lunch") to give their software a boost in the next generation [...] Continue reading →
