Self-Driving Cars At CES: The Future Of Transportation Is Here
By Alok Sanghavi - 04 Jan, 2018 - Comments: 0

CES 2018 attendees will get a new kind of tech demo in just a few weeks. When they hail Lyft to take them from the Las Vegas Convention Center across town, it will be a fully automated point-to-point vehicle getting them there. While we marvel now, today’s novelty will be tomorrow’s norm, though questions about the safety of autonomous driving persist. For the CES demo, a backup pilot wi... » read more

Protecting Electronic Systems From Side-Channel Attacks
By Rambus - 04 Jan, 2018 - Comments: 0

During the early days of safecracking, rudimentary rotary locks were compromised by feel or sound to determine the correct combination. Following in this tradition, malicious actors are now exploiting side-channel attacks (SCA) to compromise cryptographic systems. To be sure, all physical electronic systems routinely leak information about the internal process of computing via fluctuating level... » read more

The Importance Of Metal Stack Compatibility For Semi IP
By Geoff Tate - 04 Jan, 2018 - Comments: 0

Architects and front end designers usually leave the back end to the physical designers: they know there can be different numbers of metal layers, but may not realize the characteristics of each metal layer may vary layer by layer as well and that different chips use different metal stack ups to optimize for their requirements. This slide from IDF14 shows a simple summary of the breadth of v... » read more

Sensors Drive IoT Intelligent Systems
By Greg Lebsack - 04 Jan, 2018 - Comments: 0

Back in 1980, it is believed that the first intelligent electronic sensor was proposed (by S. Middelhoek and J.B. Angell). Their idea was to combine a MEMS sensor, an analog-to-digital convertor, and a processor to analyze the analog data generated by the sensor. But, as many great electronics ideas, the technology to put this all together on a CMOS IC was not nearly ready at that time. Toda... » read more

Measuring ISO 26262 Metrics Of Analog Circuitry In ICs
By Mentor, a Siemens Business - 04 Jan, 2018 - Comments: 0

The goals for automotive electronics are zero defective parts per million (0 DPPM), and safe operation during the expected lifetime of the vehicle. The ISO 26262 standard provides procedures and metrics required before delivery to ensure systems can be expected to operate without unreasonable risk. ISO 26262 specifies circuit metrics and minimum values that are design requirements. Since the... » read more

Thwarting Side-Channel Attacks With DPA-Protected Software Libraries
By Bart Stevens - 04 Jan, 2018 - Comments: 0

All physical electronic systems routinely leak information about the internal process of computing via fluctuating levels of power consumption and electro-magnetic emissions. Much like the early days of safecracking, electronic side-channel attacks (SCA) eschew a brute force approach to extracting keys and other secret information from a device or system. Moreover, SCA conducted against elec... » read more

Blockchain: Hype, Reality, Opportunities
By Susan Breidenbach - 04 Jan, 2018 - Comments: 4

Blockchain buzz has reached deafening levels, and its proponents say we haven’t heard anything yet. The blockchain-enabled transformations they describe make the Internet revolution look almost trivial. Critics argue that too many people drank the blockchain Kool-Aid. Outside the cryptocurrency arena, they say that blockchain amounts to little more than some really slick slideware. The ... » read more

Eye-Catching Innovations In Display Subsystems
By Ian Hutchinson - 04 Jan, 2018 - Comments: 0

The mobile devices we hold in our hands today are nothing short of astonishing in what they deliver and how seamlessly they deliver it, and it’s not just geolocation and context-mapping applications that have made these devices so transformational. Hand in hand with processor and bandwidth improvements have come leaps in display capabilities, which means new entertainment and information appl... » read more

Who’s Responsible For Security?
By Ed Sperling - 04 Jan, 2018 - Comments: 0

Semiconductor Engineering sat down to discuss security issues and how to fix them with Mark Schaeffer, senior product marketing manager for secure solutions at Renesas Electronics; Haydn Povey, CTO of Secure Thingz; Marc Canel, vice president of security systems and technologies at [getentity id="22186" comment="Arm"]; Richard Hayton, CTO of Trustonic; Anders Holmberg, director of corporate dev... » read more

Who Needs OWASP?
By Synopsys - 03 Jan, 2018 - Comments: 0

A list of critical web application security vulnerabilities is a necessary risk management tool. Equally true is that each organization has a different set of vulnerabilities plaguing their applications. To complete a trifecta of fundamental truths, crowdsourced lists such as the OWASP Top 10 rarely reflect an individual organization’s priorities. Given these three points, many organizatio... » read more
