DAC Is Starting To Heat Up
By Anne Cirkel - 25 Jul, 2014 - Comments: 0

As we reach the midpoint of summer, it’s time to kick back and enjoy vacation and the sunshine. But don’t get too relaxed, because paper submissions are just around the corner. Turning up the temperature on paper submissions Last week I introduced you to DAC’s two technical program co-chairs Sharon Hu and Rob Aitken. They lead our technical program committee, a world-wide volunteer n... » read more

Week 6: Still In Wow-Land
By Anne Cirkel - 18 Jul, 2014 - Comments: 0

While the conflicts around the world are overshadowing my complete euphoria, I have to admit that I’m still in Fussball wow-land right now. Germany won the World Cup! What an amazing goal from youngster Mario Goetze! Here is what the 22-year-old forward from Bayern-Muenchen had to say after the game: “Andre [Schurrle] put in a superb ball and I was able to control it on my chest, then someh... » read more

DAC’s Front Line…Soha, Chuck And Me
By Anne Cirkel - 14 Jul, 2014 - Comments: 1

In Brazil the drama continues, though that may be understating what happened yesterday. I’m still rendered nearly speechless by the result from Belo Horizonte, where all sorts of history was made. Of course I’m thrilled that Germany has a chance to win its first World Cup since 1990, though like much of Fussball-fandom I’m stunned and even a bit unnerved at how easy they made it look in t... » read more

Locking Down The Chip
By Ernest Worthman - 09 Jul, 2014 - Comments: 0

The push toward securing chips is complicated by the amount of third-party IP that is being used inside of today’s complex SoCs. This has cast new light on the potential for on-chip networks to also function in securing signals that flow through those networks. This becomes particularly important with the Internet of Things, because the source of those signals isn’t always obvious to the... » read more

Beyond Chip Card Migration
By NXP - 07 Jul, 2014 - Comments: 0

Payment card usage is on the rise globally and with it the adoption of smart card technology. Globally, cards remain the preferred non-cash payment instrument with a market share of more than 55%. Consider that even during the height of the financial crisis from 2008 to 2009 transaction volumes on debit and credit cards were still increasing by nearly +10% (compared to +15% from 2007 to 2008). ... » read more

R-FPGA Security Risks
By Ernest Worthman - 07 Jul, 2014 - Comments: 0

Configurable chips have been around for a long time. Modern FPGAs, E/EEPROMS and other types of programmable memory have allowed us some flexibility in changing chip functionality in the field. But really, this is static reprogramming and requires a process and procedure. Moreover, it needs to done by knowledgeable programmers, either on site or remotely. But the fact remains that field re-prog... » read more

Next Bonanza: Security Holes
By Ed Sperling - 07 Jul, 2014 - Comments: 0

Security threats—both real and potential—are beginning to reshape the semiconductor business. These threats are drawing venture capitalists back into the industry as they race for the next big opportunity. They are blurring the lines between software and hardware, as threats grow in complexity at every level of a device and its myriad and sometimes perpetual connections to the outside wo... » read more

Threat Intelligence
By Ernest Worthman - 07 Jul, 2014 - Comments: 0

The new buzz phrase in security is threat intelligence, a pre-emptive approach that combines forward-thinking, real-time awareness with both reactive and pre-emptive threat analysis philosophies. “The principle purpose of threat intelligence is to inform decision making and mitigate risk,” says Adam Vincent, Founder, and CEO of Cyber Squared, in Arlington, Va. While specific definitions ... » read more

Programmable Risk Factors
By Ernest Worthman - 07 Jul, 2014 - Comments: 0

The semiconductor industry is starting to come around to the realization that security begins at the block level. Intellectual property (IP) is being seen with IP blocks that can be woven into the general-purpose system-on-chip (SoC) hardware layers to secure I/O, data, keys, and various other sensitive or critical information. But modifying hardware designs in response to the demands placed... » read more

Secure SoC Manufacturing
By Rambus - 07 Jul, 2014 - Comments: 0

As mobile usage continues to permeate daily lives with increasingly sensitive data and high-value transactions, the importance of device security has become even more important. Information security begins at the point when Internet- connected devices are designed and manufactured. But today’s complex global supply chains are fraught with numerous challenges that can result in both security b... » read more
