The importance of secure interface IP blocks in critical semiconductor applications.
Security is now a concern for nearly all semiconductors in nearly all applications. Once of high interest mostly for military and financial systems, both the increasingly connected world and the plethora of existing security threats have changed the landscape dramatically. Every aspect of electronic system design—hardware, firmware, and software—has its own sets of risks and requirements to avoid or at least minimize these risks.
This white paper considers one specific aspect of proactive risk management: ensuring that the data that travels over interfaces between chips is secure against a wide range of threats. The focus is on the selection of secure intellectual property (IP) blocks used in the design of these interfaces.
