Systems Engineering In An Automotive E/E Design World
By Mentor, a Siemens Business - 05 May, 2016 - Comments: 0

Demand for increased functionality in automotive electrical/electronic (E/E) systems is being propelled by both customers and various governmental regulations and requirements. This demand for more capabilities also introduces new challenges for OEMs who are responsible for implementing these functions. Of course, the cost of system development and manufacturing are considerable, but there are ... » read more

Rethinking Processor Architectures
By Ed Sperling - 05 May, 2016 - Comments: 2

The semiconductor industry's obsession with clock speeds, cores and how many transistors fit on a piece of silicon may be nearing an end for real this time. The [getentity id="22048" comment="IEEE"] said it will develop the International Roadmap for Devices and Systems (IRDS), effectively setting the industry agenda for future silicon benchmarking and adding metrics that are relevant to specifi... » read more

Next-Gen Botnets
By Ernest Worthman - 05 May, 2016 - Comments: 0

Botnets, once limited to computer networks, are expanding and changing as more devices are connected to the Internet—and becoming much harder to detect and destroy. The term botnet—a contraction for robotic networks—conjures up the days when it was just a collection of computers that were largely autonomous, on a local network and usually assigned to repetitive tasks. But that is chang... » read more

IoT Security Reality Check
By Ann Mutschler - 05 May, 2016 - Comments: 0

Lorie Wigle, Intel Security’s VP and GM of IoT Security Solutions made a good point at SAE World Congress last month when she said, "The news feed is full of articles of hand wringing about how it's the Internet of Threats not the Internet of Things and the reality is we have technologies we've developed over the last 30 years in security and IT systems many of which are perfectly applicable ... » read more

Unexpected Security Holes
By Ed Sperling - 13 Apr, 2016 - Comments: 0

Security is emerging as one of the top challenges in semiconductor design across a variety of markets, with the number of security holes growing by orders of magnitude in sectors that have never dealt with these kinds of design constraints before. While security has been a topic of conversation for years in mobile phones and data centers, commercial and industrial equipment is being connecte... » read more

Using Chip Technology To Detect And Prevent Diseases
By Michael Watts - 11 Apr, 2016 - Comments: 0

The overlap between semiconductor technology and medicine is growing, creating the same kinds of economies of scale that have fueled the semiconductor industry for the past five decades. While technology has long held a place in the medical world, the idea that chips can save lives and improve health is a relatively new concept. That effort is gaining steam, too, as more capabilities are add... » read more

The Next Big Challenge
By Ed Sperling - 07 Apr, 2016 - Comments: 0

In his keynote speech at the Synopsys User Group last month, company chairman and co-CEO Aart de Geus defined IoT as the Internet of Threats. As interviews across the semiconductor industry have revealed over the past 12 months, his comment was very much on target. As more things are connected—and that includes everything from watches to toasters to cars to buildings within a city—securi... » read more

Counterfeiting In The Automotive Supply Chain
By Ann Mutschler - 07 Apr, 2016 - Comments: 0

While counterfeiting is not a new problem in the automotive space by any means, the stakes are higher all the time when you consider the increase in more sophisticated electronics and electronic systems being designed into vehicles today. While we don’t want to think about the worst case scenario of a counterfeit airbag in the family minivan or a counterfeit battery in a hybrid vehicle, we mu... » read more

The Race To Secure The Car
By Ann Mutschler - 07 Apr, 2016 - Comments: 0

A shift is underway in the automotive industry to connect cars to each other and to a variety of communications infrastructure, adding many of the features that consumers now expect in mobile devices as well as some new ones that ultimately will lead to autonomous vehicles. But along with those changes are some nagging questions about just how safe that technology will be for consumers and othe... » read more

White-Box Crypto Gains Traction
By Ernest Worthman - 07 Apr, 2016 - Comments: 0

Ask any cryptography expert which is better, hardware- or software-based cryptography, and they'll almost always choose the hardware. But as the IoE begins to take root in cost-sensitive markets with tight market windows, that won't always be an option. Plan B is software cryptography, which historically has been used at the application level in the form of anti-virus, anti-spyware, and soft... » read more
