Cryptography Research, Inc., a division of Rambus, Inc. (NASDAQ:RMBS), and CPU Technology, Inc. announced they have signed a patent license agreement regarding the use of CRI�s patented innovations in CPU Tech products. This agreement covers the use of CRI�s patented countermeasures to differential power analysis (DPA) attacks for CPU Tech�s tamper-resistant products, including the Acalis� family of secure processors. This license also covers software developed by CPU Tech customers when executing on licensed CPU Tech chips.
�CPU Tech is designing the Acalis family of advanced secure processors to provide the highest levels of protection for critical systems, IP and software,� said Pat Hays, vice president of the Acalis Business Unit at CPU Tech. �The DPA countermeasures licensed from Cryptography Research are integral to the robust security solutions we are delivering to our customers to protect against tampering and other malicious attacks.�
DPA is a form of attack that involves monitoring the fluctuating electrical power consumption of a target device and then using statistical methods to derive cryptographic keys and other secrets. Strong countermeasures to DPA are important for securing mobile devices, bank cards, pay television systems, secure identity products, secure storage media, anti-tamper products, and other electronic systems and components. Many of the world�s leading security standards require that devices be protected against DPA and related attacks.

Global Hunter (GBLHF.PK)
Global Hunter’s focus is on strategic and base metals, with an advanced stage copper oxide project in Chile and a highly prospective molybdenum property in British Columbia, Canada. GBLHF teams are working on developing the Corona de Cobre property in Chile and the Rabbit south property in British Columbia.
La Corona de Cobre, Chile:
+18,000 hectare land package in coastal belt of Andean Cordillera of Chile on the Atacama Fault Zone.(”Chilean Iron-Copper Belt”)
Project Highlights
- Copper oxide deposit, leachable
- Existing NI 43-101 Resource Estimate (225 million pounds of copper)
- Management with proven track record
- Highly qualified technical team
- Low operating costs of appr. $ 1.00/lb (preliminary calculation)
- Substantial upside potential (resource covers less than 0.1% of total area)
Rabbit South, British Columbia:
1,900 hectare land package between two of British Columbia’s most successful copper mines (Afton and Highland Valley)
Project Highlights
- 1,900 hectares 26km from Kamloops, British Columbia, between the Afton and Highland Valley copper mines
- 86 holes drilled on property from 1979 to 2005
- Two large target areas identified
- Recent drilling confirms presence of wide-spread near-surface molybdenum mineralization
Molybdenum production meets demand, refiners, or roasters are expected to run into a shortfall between 2009 and 2015, depending on demand. A roaster processes the molybdenum into a fine powder, pellets, or other forms. Total world molybdenum roaster capacity is currently 320 million pounds per year, barely enough to meet demand. There is not much excess roasting capacity, and no one is actively permitting for the production of any new roasters in the United States. Global roaster capacity also looks limited, and a future roaster shortage is predicted.
World demand is expected to rise from 200,000 tonnes per annum to 500,000 tonnes per annum by 2030. Based on increasing applications Moly demand growth has been predicted at between 4 and 6% per annum over next ten years. Western demand is projected to increase by around 3 percent annually, while China demand is projected to increase by around 10 percent annually, increasing overall global demand by around 4.5 percent annually.
