Long Road Ahead To Securing IoT
By Dylan McGrath - 07 Aug, 2015 - Comments: 0

Security is a hot topic within the vast swath of the electronics industry that is working to bring the [getkc id="76" comment="Internet of Things"]/[getkc id="260" comment="Internet of Everything"] from concept to reality. A slew of standards and protocols are currently being developed to help secure the IoT from the edge nodes through the networks that carry the accumulated data. Chip vendors ... » read more

Memories Offer Measure Of Security For IoT Devices
By Linh Hong - 06 Jul, 2015 - Comments: 0

Consumers are going to extremes to keep their electronic devices secure. A first-person account in The New York Times offered a novel way to thwart thieves from breaking into a car with a remote keyless system and stealing it — the author kept her car keys in the freezer. As extreme as this seems, it may only get worse as we move into the era of the Internet of Things. A recent Hewlett-Pac... » read more

Confidence Is The New Verification
By Srikanth Jadcherla - 16 Jun, 2015 - Comments: 0

Everywhere around us the devices we use are getting connected to each other digitally. New devices that sense and quantify the parameters we need to make decisions are also being created. It is estimated that 26 billion connected devices will be installed by 2020, or roughly four per person on the planet! The whole purpose of the connected device is to observe/report and control remotely, of... » read more

What’s Really Inside?
By Ed Sperling - 04 Jun, 2015 - Comments: 2

Is it just paranoia, or do devices ranging from industrial controls to military hardware really contain malicious code, Trojan Horses, and remotely triggered back doors? The answer is "maybe not" if you're an optimist, and "maybe" if you're a pessimist, but no one really knows for sure. And that's what really worries security experts, particularly as more devices are connected to other devices.... » read more

A Low-Cost, Low Power Memory Solution For IoT Devices
By Kilopass - 04 Jun, 2015 - Comments: 0

The Internet of Things (IoT) connects everyday devices onto the Internet to gather information using sensors, embedded systems, and MEMS (micro-electrical mechanical systems). That information is then processed to increase efficiency or enable new services. With the proliferation of smartphones, tablets and laptops, industry estimates that there are currently more than five-billion devices ... » read more

Biometrics For The IoT
By Ernest Worthman - 04 Jun, 2015 - Comments: 0

In part one of this topic we started at the top with an overview of biometrics and its base technology. Now, let’s ratchet that up a notch and drill down a bit into some of the details. While biometrics has a lot of potential tools, presently there are only two that are in wide-scale deployment—fingerprint and facial scanning. “Of those two, fingerprints account for 60% to 70% of all a... » read more

Executive Insight: Jack Harding
By Ed Sperling - 28 May, 2015 - Comments: 0

SE: What's changed over the past 12 months? Harding: My starting point these days is around consolidation. At last count there were about 85 companies in the semiconductor industry. My bet is that at this time next year there will be about 70. The size of deal will not matter. Nothing will be too big. The strategic question is whether you're playing musical chairs and when the music stops, ... » 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

Rethinking Power
By Ed Sperling - 14 May, 2015 - Comments: 0

Power typically has been the last factor to be considered in the PPA equation, and it usually was somebody else's problem. Increasingly it's everyone's problem, and EDA companies are beginning to look at power differently than in the past. While the driving forces vary by market and by process node, the need to save energy at every node and in almost all designs is pervasive. In the server m... » read more
