Virage Logic and Discretix will present a free online technical webinar titled: ‘Security made solid with nonvolatile Novea’. The live webinar will be broadcast via TechOnLine on Wednesday 29th March 2006 at 1800 BST. Due to surging demand for DRM and identity protection, ensuring the security of digital information has become increasingly critical for logic designers.

Virage Logic and Discretix are collaborating on this informative webinar to explain how the integration of their respective products addresses the security concerns of SoC designers while minimising sise, power, cost, and design time, and enables the implementation of a cost-effective, highly secure system on a standard CMOS process.

Discretix, the leading provider of embedded security and DRM solutions for mobile devices and flash storage, has integrated Novea as a secure nonvolatile memory component with their embedded security solutions, CryptoFlash and CryptoCell.

The integration of Novea ensures that the unique device key created and encrypted using the CryptoCell or CryptoFlash solutions can be stored in hardware on chips in a cost-effective and secure manner.

‘Novea complements CryptoCell and CryptoFlash to provide comprehensive security solutions for mobile devices and flash memory’, said Edo Ganot, Executive Vice President of Sales and Business Development for Discretix.

‘Our security solutions utilise a secure nonvolatile memory module as their ‘root-of-trust’, forming a secure foundation for applications such as DRM’.

‘We are pleased to partner with Discretix to bring SoC designers the solutions they need to provide an efficient, reliable and low-cost security subsystem for mobile and storage devices’, said Jim Ensell, vice president of marketing and business development for Virage Logic.

‘With Discretix’s expertise in helping customers meet their security requirements in a broad variety of applications, we’re confident webinar delegates will gain valuable insights into how to protect and secure their digital information’.

This webinar is the second in a series of eight Virage Logic-sponsored educational webinars addressing timely and critical design challenges facing SoC designers.

Each webinar in the series features a different industry-leading company from Virage Logic’s VIP Partner Programme and will provide an integrated approach to helping SoC designers successfully leverage the most advanced technologies available for accelerating their silicon success.
