Automating The Detection of Hardware Common Weakness Enumerations In Early Design


A new technical paper titled "Don't CWEAT It: Toward CWE Analysis Techniques in Early Stages of Hardware Design" was published by researchers at NYU, Intel, Duke and University of Calgary. "To help prevent hardware security vulnerabilities from propagating to later design stages where fixes are costly, it is crucial to identify security concerns as early as possible, such as in RTL designs. ... » read more

The Next Incarnation Of EDA


The EDA industry has incrementally addressed issues as they arise in the design of electronic systems, but is there about to be a disruption? Academia is certainly seeing that as a possibility, but not all of them see it happening for the same reason. The academic community questioned the future of EDA at the recent Design Automation Conference. Rather than EDA as we know it going away, they... » read more
