Designing And Securing Chips For Outer Space
By Marie C. Baca - 19 Dec, 2022 - Comments: 2

Design considerations for hardware used in space go far beyond radiation hardening. These devices have to perform flawlessly for years, under extreme temperature variations, and potentially banged up by space junk or other particles floating in the void over its projected lifetime. Reliability in space adds a whole different set of design considerations. For example, while it's unlikely anyo... » read more

Cybersecurity Risks Of Automotive OTA
By John Koon - 01 Dec, 2022 - Comments: 0

Modern vehicles increasingly resemble supercomputers on wheels, with many electronic control units (ECUs) networked together as increasingly sophisticated software is installed and updated. Similar to smartphones, vehicle OEMs will contact vehicle owners remotely about operating system updates that add new features and/or fixes, as well as software bugs and vulnerabilities. But all of this h... » read more

Hidden Impacts Of Software Updates
By Ed Sperling - 10 May, 2022 - Comments: 0

Over-the-air updates can reduce obsolescence over longer chip and system lifetimes, but those updates also can impact reliability, performance, and affect how various resources such as memory and various processing elements are used. The connected world is very familiar with over-the-air (OTA) updates in smart phones and computers, where the software stack — firmware, operating systems, dr... » read more

New Challenges For Connected Vehicles
By John Koon - 11 Apr, 2022 - Comments: 0

Connected vehicles are all about convenience and safety. Modern vehicles are connected to the Internet via wireless networks, consumer apps, and infotainment systems, and there is work underway to connect them over 5G to guided driving. But there also are challenges to making all of this work securely, safely, and as expected throughout the expected lifetimes of chips and systems. The goal i... » read more

Creating IoT Devices That Will Remain Secure
By Ed Sperling - 30 Nov, 2021 - Comments: 0

What’s secure today may not be secure in the future, and even if you include an IoT device with state-of-the-art security, it may be surrounded by less secure devices. Steve Hanna, distinguished engineer at Infineon, examines the impact of security on IoT adoption, why resilience across a system is the new target for secure designs, and how to minimize the impact of less secure devices. » read more

No Safety Without Dependable Security In Automotive Designs
By Jeff Kelley - 12 Jul, 2021 - Comments: 0

The cyber threat faced by the automotive industry reached public awareness in 2015, when a “White Hat” research team commandeered the control electronics of a target vehicle at freeway speeds. Subsequently published details of the team’s work identified several discrete weak links that were leveraged by the researchers to create the attack. The approach illustrated a concept well-known to... » read more

SoC Verification From Pre-Fabrication To The Over-the-Air Update
By OneSpin Solutions - 30 Jun, 2021 - Comments: 0

The recent new of attacks on system infrastructures serves to highlight that hardware vulnerabilities in the supply chain are not only possible but inevitable if proper precautions are ignored. Verification throughout the entire supply chain is necessary to ensure the safety and security of hardware. Starting as early as the pre-fabrication stage, vulnerabilities, if left unchecked, can be an o... » read more

Making Lidar More Useful
By Ed Sperling - 07 Jun, 2021 - Comments: 0

Lidar, one of a trio of “vision” technologies slated for cars of the future, is improving both in terms of form and function. Willard Tu, director of automotive at Xilinx, talks with Semiconductor Engineering about different approaches and tradeoffs between cost, compute intensity and resolution, various range and field of view options, and why convolutional neural networks are so important... » read more

The Good And Bad Of Auto IC Updates
By John Koon - 03 Jun, 2021 - Comments: 0

Keeping automobiles updated enough to avoid problems is becoming increasingly difficult as more complex electronics are added into vehicles, and as the lifetimes of those devices are extended to a decade or more. Modern vehicles are full of electronics. In fact, the value of electronic devices used in modern vehicles is expected to double in the next 10 years, growing to $469 billion by 2030... » read more

Monitor And Control Automotive Devices With Over-The-Air Updates
By Siemens EDA - 05 May, 2021 - Comments: 0

Modern vehicles are complex electronic devices that require regular over-the-air (OTA) system and software updates to ensure their correct and safe operation. This paper discusses the need for OTA and the Siemens solutions that ensure OTA updates are secure and meet all regulations and standards. To read more, click here. » read more
