Design For Security Now Essential For Chips, Systems
By Ann Mutschler - 01 Sep, 2022 - Comments: 0

It's nearly impossible to create a completely secure chip or system, but much can be done to raise the level of confidence about that security. In the past, security was something of an afterthought, disconnected from the architecture and added late in the design cycle. But as chips are used increasingly in safety- and mission-critical systems, and as the value of data continues to rise, the... » read more
