Security’s Very Strange Path To Success
By Ed Sperling - 02 Jul, 2019 - Comments: 0

Security at the chip level appears to be heading toward a more promising future. The reason is simple—more people are willing to pay for security than in the past. For the most part, security is like insurance. You don't know it's working until something goes wrong, and you don't necessarily even know right away if there has been a breach. Sometimes it takes years to show up, because it ca... » read more

MRAM: from STT to SOT, for security and memory
By Technical Paper Link - 30 Apr, 2019 - Comments: 0

Abstract: "Spin Transfer Torque Magnetic Random Access Memory (STT-MRAM) is one of the leading candidates for embedded memory convergence in advanced technology nodes. It is particularly adapted to low-power applications, requiring a decent level of performance. However, it also have interests for secured applications. The PRESENT cipher is a lightweight cryptographic algorithm targeting ultra... » read more

Meltdown And Spectre, One Year Later
By Paul Kocher - 11 Feb, 2019 - Comments: 0

About this time last year, reports surfaced about security attacks on today’s most popular microprocessors (μPs). Researchers called them Meltdown, Spectre gaining widespread attention. Today, however, the industry and especially μP vendors have made some progress toward stemming these vulnerabilities. Here is my analysis as we enter into 2019. When it comes to these vulnerabilities, we ... » read more

Designing Hardware For Security
By Ed Sperling - 09 May, 2018 - Comments: 1

By Ed Sperling and Kevin Fogarty Cyber criminals are beginning to target weaknesses in hardware to take control of devices, rather than using the hardware as a stepping stone to access to the software. This shift underscores a significant increase in the sophistication of the attackers, as evidenced by the discovery of Spectre and Meltdown by Google Project Zero in 2017 (made public in Ja... » read more

Tortuga Logic: Hardware Security
By Ed Sperling - 26 May, 2015 - Comments: 0

For the Internet of Things to really get rolling, it has to be bulletproof. And given the number of very high-profile security breaches in recent months, it has a long way to go before consumers or businesses will feel comfortable using any of a new wave of smart devices That concern has prompted a wave of acquisitions from companies such as Intel (McAffee), Cadence (Jasper Design Automation... » read more
