SoC Verification For The Internet of Things


Larger, more complex designs with more software and tighter power budgets require new verification solutions that target the associated technological challenges. This paper explores why traditional digital simulation and hardware prototypes fall short when it comes to verifying IoT and network designs, why using emulation is critical for a total verification solution, and why traditional in-cir... » read more

Benefits Of The ARM Sensinode NanoService Security Solution


This paper discusses the architecture, features, and benefits of the ARM Sensinode NanoService Security solution. Recognizing that web applications based on the REST architecture have become ubiquitous, backend IoT platforms must be based on the REpresentational State Transfer architecture of the web in order to reduce the time taken to develop and deploy applications for accessing IoT networks... » read more

A Tough Balancing Act


Typically, technology startups are formed because a few smart engineers have identified a new opportunity. They work hard on the technology, making sure they deliver innovation that differentiates them from their bigger competitors. They approach their initial customers and refine the product based on the feedback from these early adopters. The focus is still very much on the technology and the... » read more

Security In 2.5D


The long-anticipated move to 2.5D and fan-outs is raising some familiar questions about security. Will multiple chips combined in an advanced package be as secure as SoCs where everything is integrated on the same die? The answer isn't a simple yes or no. Put in perspective, all chips are vulnerable to [getkc id="253" kc_name="side channel attacks"], hacking of memory—a risk that increases... » read more

The Next Killer Apps


The search is on for the next killer applications that will turn connected devices into the next smart phone or PC. Billions of dollars are being poured into startups and established companies, creating a spectrum of new ideas they're trying to bring to market. Whether those investments pay off with a single application, or whether they lead to new ideas that fuse together multiple markets, ... » read more

Brave New World Of Mobility


Self-driving cars are no longer a vision of the future. At the 2015 ITS World Congress in Bordeaux, visitors had the chance to test a car in which a device from automotive supplier Valeo took over the driving, steering, accelerating, and breaking. And not only on testing grounds, but also on Bordeaux’s busy A630 highway. The ITS World Congress, the largest trade event in the intelligent tr... » read more

The Quantum IoE


The principle of quantum communication (QC) is that it can transfer a quantum state between locations. The significance of that cannot be overstated. This is what we can look to for the delivery of the super-secure communications networks of the future. This kind of secure communications is made to order for the IoE (and, of course, many other platforms). No matter how simple or complex the ... » read more

The Challenge Of Updating Cars


News stories about automotive hacking are becoming more common, and so is the concern about how to curb this problem. Security has become a new layer of system design complexity, and it's being taken increasingly seriously in a market that until very recently largely ignored it. That attitude is changing rapidly though, particularly with the advent of autonomous and connected vehicles. Secu... » read more

The Rise Of Dynamic Networks


The Internet of the future, and particularly the [getkc id="260" comment="Internet of Everything"], will be interlaced with millions if not billions of intelligent, dynamic, self-organizing networks. These networks will be full of elements that are capable of autonomic self-registration across these multitudes of networks. It is one thing to put up a security perimeter when you know who the... » read more

Looking Back At The IoT?


No one can claim the IoT suffers from a lack of attention. A quick search of ProQuest for all mentions of the phrase “Internet of Things” since 2005 turns up 1.5 million results, or more than 400 pieces of content a day. That trumps many other topics, tech-related or otherwise, over the same period of time. For comparison: “smart phone” (478K results), “Apple Computer” (362K results... » read more
