New And Innovative Supply Chain Threats Emerging
By Bryon Moyer - 05 Nov, 2020 - Comments: 1

The electronics supply chain is seeing evidence of increased sophistication in the counterfeiting of complex ICs and simple passives, both of which can impact the functioning and safety of the systems that use them. New technologies are being developed to build trust by helping to identify counterfeit devices before assembly and during failure analysis. It's too early to tell how effective t... » read more

How Physically Unclonable Function (PUF) Technology Protects Embedded Systems
By Maxim Integrated - 05 Aug, 2020 - Comments: 0

Security experts have been excited about the promise of physically unclonable function (PUF) technology for many years. It wasn't until recently, however, that reliable, cost-effective ICs with integrated PUF technology became available on the market. What's driving all of the excitement over PUF? In this white paper, I'll demystify PUF and highlight how it benefits a variety of embedded system... » read more

Making Sense Of PUFs
By Bryon Moyer - 07 May, 2020 - Comments: 3

As security becomes a principal design consideration, physically unclonable functions (PUFs) are seeing renewed interest as new players emerge onto the market. PUFs can play a central role in hardware roots of trust (HRoTs), but the messaging in the market can make it confusing to understand the different types of PUF as well as their pros and cons. PUFs leverage some uncertain aspect of som... » read more

PUF, The Magic IoT Defender
By Christine Young - 02 Apr, 2020 - Comments: 0

How would you feel if you put hours of effort and your ingenuity into designing a product, only to find cheaper copycats on the market? And what if, over time, those copycats failed and somehow eroded your company’s brand reputation? It happens more often than it should, especially as hackers up their game in sophistication and consumers get attracted to lower cost options. So that’s why... » read more

Security Becomes A Multi-System Issue
By Ed Sperling - 27 Oct, 2016 - Comments: 0

The fallout from the Mirai malware attack last week was surprising, given that it was published on the Internet several months ago as open-source. Despite numerous warnings, it still managed to cause denial of service attacks at Amazon, Netflix, and a slew of other companies that are supposed to be able to fend off these kinds of attacks. The good news is that it more people talking about th... » read more

Security Improvements Ahead
By Ed Sperling - 10 Nov, 2015 - Comments: 0

After nearly two years of talking about how security is one of the biggest problems facing the IoE, progress is being made on a number of fronts. The changes involve many companies, both individually and collaboratively through standards groups. And while none of this will stop the kind of high-profile breaches that affected Target or Home Depot or JPMorgan Chase or a long list of other gian... » read more

Emerging Security Protocols
By Ernest Worthman - 06 Aug, 2015 - Comments: 0

As the proliferation of mobile devices ramps up at escalating rates, securing these devices and the infrastructure they run on is becoming a top priority for both the hardware and the data that swirls within it. Traditional security platforms such as firewalls and antivirus programs are still a viable part of the security envelope, but the rapid emergence of zero-day/hour threats is somethin... » read more

Physically Unclonable Functions
By Ernest Worthman - 05 Mar, 2015 - Comments: 0

Physically unclonable functions (PUFs) are emerging as a novel way to protect a variety of ICs. In today’s world of cyber threats, vulnerabilities, insecure networks and hardware, and intrusions, it is finding a renewed interest. The technology on which it is based has been around since the mid-1990s in its present form and the term PUF was cloned in the early 2000s. PUFs find their anc... » read more
