What Can You Trust In The IoT?
By Ernest Worthman - 04 Aug, 2014 - Comments: 0

Most of us on the bleeding edge of technology are aware that the Internet of Things/Everything and the Cloud of Things (IoT/E), (CoT), are slowly becoming less fuzzy. No one knows exactly what the model ultimately will look like, but it is becoming clearer and clearer that it won’t be radically different than the Internet we have today—just more objects, more interconnects, more autonomy, a... » read more

Designing For Security
By Ann Mutschler - 04 Aug, 2014 - Comments: 0

Some level of security is required in SoC today, whether it is in hardware, software or — most commonly — both. Of course, there is a price to pay from a power and performance perspective, but thankfully just a small one in most cases. The explosion of consumer devices has driven the need for increased security features in smart cards, smart phones, personal computers, home networks, and... » read more

Caught In Between
By Frank Ferro - 04 Aug, 2014 - Comments: 0

I recently spent four busy days at a tradeshow where I was fortunate enough to get a couple of nice gifts – and perhaps by coincidence, these items are a good representation of where we are in the high-tech market today. Let me explain. As I write this blog, I’m wearing my new fitness-tracking device that I received as part of the ARM IP Connected Community challenge at the Design Automatio... » read more

Addressing Test Cost Challenges In LPCT Designs
By Cadence - 04 Aug, 2014 - Comments: 0

As companies strive to achieve higher quality and reliability for their products, and as package sizes and the number of available pins continue to shrink, there is also a persistent need to keep test costs down. Low Pin Count Test (LPCT) is one solution that Design for Test (DFT) designers turn to, and in many cases, might be the only one available to address these conflicting requirements. ... » read more

Why Every Chip Can Be Hacked With This Tool
By Ernest Worthman - 04 Aug, 2014 - Comments: 0

As explained by Darth Vader in the classic Star Wars saga, the line between good and evil can be very thin. What is sometimes developed for the benefit technology, in the hands of the wrong people, can be devastating. That may seem a bit melodramatic when it comes to discussions around focused ion beam (FIB) applications in semiconductors, but the analogy is quite real. Focused ion beam tec... » read more

Defending Against Reverse Engineering
By Ernest Worthman - 04 Aug, 2014 - Comments: 0

Most of us are familiar with the term “reverse engineering.” We generally know that it is used to extract data or designs from chips, but exactly how is pretty much a mystery. Today, chip security has very broad implications. The landscape of tomorrow will be cluttered with devices that are microprocessor-controlled, including some that are autonomous. Numbers vary, but the current esti... » read more

White Hat Hacking
By Ernest Worthman - 04 Aug, 2014 - Comments: 0

At first glance, the words “reverse engineering” (RE) might conjure up a couple of nefarious individuals with table full of tools, meters, and the like, in some basement trying to figure out how to disassemble some sort of electronic device. The image is wrong, however. More likely, today’s RE work will be found in a clandestine, well-funded uber-laboratory in an up-and-coming third-wo... » read more

Internet Of Things Design Considerations For Embedded Connected Devices
By Mentor, a Siemens Business - 04 Aug, 2014 - Comments: 0

Embedded connectivity has been around since the early days of M2M. But what is new are the many complexities and emerging standards embedded system developers need to know if they are to design the latest IoT device. This paper delves into many of the key considerations developers need to know and discusses the critical areas of IoT security and connectivity along with the importance of a prove... » read more

Connected Car Of The Future Stella Gets London Debut
By NXP - 04 Aug, 2014 - Comments: 0

By Martijn van der Linden At NXP we feel it’s vital that for the connected car to have a future we need to begin openly discussing the issues of security and privacy. The roundtable discussion at The Crystal was chaired by industry analyst Dr. Charles V Clarke and featured contributions from Ferry Smith, Director Public Affairs, Royal Dutch Touring club ANWB, Lars Reger, Vice President, H... » read more

Who Owns DAC?
By Anne Cirkel - 01 Aug, 2014 - Comments: 4

In June I was chatting with an editor unfamiliar with DAC and he was wondering who owns the conference. It’s a fair question and I recall thinking I’d blog about it as part of my effort to boost understanding of DAC. After all, my goal is to let you glimpse behind the curtain and that means touching on the prosaic though very important issue of ownership. First, the basics. DAC is owne... » read more
