TECH THE FUTURE
By Sridhar (Sri) Krishnan

Biomedical signals obtained from the human body can be beneficial in a variety of scenarios in a healthcare setting. For example, physicians can use the noninvasive sensing, recording, and processing of a heart's electrical activity in the form of electrocardiograms (ECGs) to help make informed decisions about a patient's cardiovascular health. A typical biomedical signal acquisition system will consist of sensors, preamplifiers, filters, analog-to-digital conversion, processing and analysis using computers, and the visual display of the outputs. Given the digital nature of these signals, intelligent methods and computer algorithms can be developed for analysis of the signals.

Securely Control Sensors and IoT Nodes
Hardware Protection and Data Authenticity with Secure GPIO
 
The
DS28C36 DeepCover® Secure Authenticator provides a compact set of asymmetric and symmetric key cryptographic tools, including ECDSA, ECDH, HMAC and MAC, to achieve unprecedented flexibility for peripheral authentication, secure data storage, counterfeit prevention and enabling trusted sensor data paths. Two GPIO pins can be independently controlled, following a successful authentication sequence, to enable operation of remote devices, such as accessories, industrial actuators, and IoT nodes. For cases where the system microcontroller cannot perform the crypto computations, the DS2476 secure coprocessor can be used as a companion to compute any required DS28C36 operation. Learn More
