Cross-Market Security Issues
By Ed Sperling - 08 Jan, 2015 - Comments: 0

The real attractiveness of the Internet of Things is the ability to leap across communications barriers. Roll back just 15 years ago and carmakers offered special car phones as an option on high-end vehicles. Roll back 20 years ago and connectivity was so slow that you could hear your modem connecting with the modem on the other end. The widespread adoption of the cell phone, and the pervas... » read more

Designing For Security
By Ernest Worthman - 08 Jan, 2015 - Comments: 0

Stacked die may improve performance and lower power, but the use of [getkc id="203" kc_name="through-silicon vias"] (TSVs) could add new security risks. As IC structures go, the vertical component of these chip packages is both a boon and a bust. Three-dimensional geometries allow for much less complexity in design by stacking two-dimensional dies and interconnecting them in the third dimens... » read more

The Other IoT
By Ed Sperling - 08 Jan, 2015 - Comments: 0

What happens in the home, in the car, or in the tiny electronic devices people carry around with them or wear on their wrists or implant in their bodies is the focus of marketing by thousands of companies all over the globe. After all, the Internet of Things, in some shape or form, is widely expected to the "next big thing," or at least provide the foundation for many next big things. Far le... » read more

DNA For Cryptography Chips
By Ernest Worthman - 08 Jan, 2015 - Comments: 1

Counterfeit chips are here to stay. There are all kinds of reasons they should never be used, but certain segments of the chip market have more critical fallout from such chips than others. In most cases counterfeit chip use is unintentional. It simply goes undetected in the vast supply chain, sometimes with life-threatening repercussions. But whether in life-safety or low-end consumer produ... » read more

A Robot In Every Home
By Ernest Worthman - 08 Jan, 2015 - Comments: 0

Bill Gates, in a 2006 Scientific American article, described his vision of the future as, "A robot in every home." It's difficult to project that far ahead with technology, though. Since then, wireless has come a long way. So have microelectronics—nearly 24 orders of magnitude if you use Moore's Law. So the robot conceived in 2006 is now more like a gaggle of Internet dust particles that r... » read more

Americans Are Concerned About Privacy, Security, But Will Still Adopt It
By Ann Mutschler - 08 Jan, 2015 - Comments: 0

As I wrote in my last blog post I have some concerns about the security and privacy aspects of some aspects of applications in the Internet of Things, and it seems I am not alone. According to NXP Semiconductors, which announced this week the findings of an IoT study it had Harris Poll conduct, 81% of respondents are concerned about their privacy and that this concern impacts their decision ... » read more

Week 30: Recovering From Holiday Travel…
By Anne Cirkel - 02 Jan, 2015 - Comments: 0

Happy New Year! The good news is that one more weekend looms, maybe a useful window for recovery if your batteries are running low after hustling around during the holidays as I did. Packed roads, busy airports, standing in line, being impatient, getting angry… I admit wondering, as my seasonal spirit waned, why we all do this to ourselves? My destination was Germany, so I could spend Christm... » read more
