Five Things You Should Know To Avoid The Most Common Security Errors

By Riscure - 03 Aug, 2022 - Comments: 0

Since 2001, Riscure has been helping chip vendors and device manufacturers improve the security of their products. Over the years, the security scenario has changed a lot. The attacker profile evolved from individuals motivated by curiosity, with very limited resources and attack potential, to well-funded and organized adversaries with dark motivations and the capacity to execute very sophistic... » read more

Reduce RowHammer Vulnerability By Reducing Wordline Voltage

By Technical Paper Link - 18 Jul, 2022 - Comments: 0

Researchers from ETH Zurich present a new technical paper titled "Understanding RowHammer Under Reduced Wordline Voltage: An Experimental Study Using Real DRAM Devices." Abstract (Partial) "This is the first work to experimentally demonstrate on 272 real DRAM chips that lowering VPP reduces a DRAM chip's RowHammer vulnerability. We show that lowering VPP 1) increases the number of activat... » read more

Safeguarding A Digital Transformation Across The Entire Product Lifecycle

By Matt Walsh - 07 Jul, 2022 - Comments: 0

In 2020, the SolarWinds breach highlighted the emergence of software supply chain attacks as a very real security threat that impacted many high-profile companies. (The software supply chain includes third-party and open-source components used in a software product.) Then in late 2021, not to be outdone, the massive scope of the Log4j vulnerability emerged, impacting millions of consumer produc... » read more

Cybersecurity Through Hardware-Based Threat Detection And Mitigation

By Richard Oxland - 10 May, 2022 - Comments: 0

SoC design teams fill a mission-critical role in ensuring cyber-physical safety and security for electrical and electronic systems that are connected to the internet. The requirements and tools available to achieve this goal are ever-shifting, but we can be fairly sure that traditional software-only security measures are unlikely to be sufficient; a new class of hardware-level monitoring is als... » read more

Cybersecurity: The Case For Hardware-Based Threat Detection And Mitigation

By Siemens EDA - 04 May, 2022 - Comments: 0

The requirements of cyberphysical systems place great responsibility on design teams. Their mission-critical roles in controlling mechanical systems, from aircraft though motor vehicles to industrial plants, have always called for safety-focused design. As these systems have become connected to the internet, safety has become intertwined with security. One mechanism for detecting suspicious ... » read more

Standards And Threat Testing For Secure Autonomous Vehicles

By Lee Harrison - 07 Apr, 2022 - Comments: 0

Modern vehicles continue to move up through the levels of autonomy, as defined by The Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE). These definitions have been widely adopted across the industry and emerging vehicle technology is measured against this scale (figure 1). Fig. 1: An illustration from the Society for Automotive Engineers shows levels of autonomy. The closer we move towards level... » read more

Setting The Standard For Automotive Security

By Bart Stevens - 07 Apr, 2022 - Comments: 0

Vehicle systems and the semiconductors used within them are some of the most complex electronics seen today. In the past, electronics going into vehicle systems implemented flat architectures with isolated functions controlling various components of the power train and vehicle dynamics. These electronic systems communicated primarily through legacy bus interconnect protocols, like controller ar... » read more

A novel multimodal hand database for biometric authentication

By Technical Paper Link - 30 Mar, 2022 - Comments: 0

Abstract "Biometric authentication is one of the most exciting areas in the era of security. Biometric authentication ideally refers to the process of identifying or verifying the user through physiological and behavioral measurements using security processes. Multimodal biometrics are preferred over unimodal biometrics due to the defensive nature of multimodal biometrics. This research intr... » read more

Fuzz, Penetration, and AI Testing for SoC Security Verification: Challenges and Solutions

By Technical Paper Link - 28 Mar, 2022 - Comments: 0

Abstract "The ever-increasing usage and application of system-on-chips (SoCs) has resulted in the tremendous modernization of these architectures. For a modern SoC design, with the inclusion of numerous complex and heterogeneous intellectual properties (IPs),and its privacy-preserving declaration, there exists a wide variety of highly sensitive assets. These assets must be protected from any u... » read more
