Leveraging The Benefits Of A FIPS 140 CMVP Certified Root Of Trust IP
By Bart Stevens - 02 Feb, 2023 - Comments: 0

Expectations that security IP designs meet the highest security standards are growing rapidly. As companies face increased product development costs and time pressure, choosing an IP that has been certified demonstrates not just compliance with a standard, but offers a valuable tool to reducing overall project risk. The Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS) 140 is published by NIST,... » read more

Going Beyond The Requirements Of A Root Of Trust For Measurement With The Silicon-Proven RT-660 Root of Trust
By Rambus - 30 Nov, 2022 - Comments: 0

The continuously evolving technology landscape and security requirements for systems present many challenges for device and silicon manufacturers. Nowhere is this truer than in data centers. Rambus has long recognized the need for security designs in data centers, and the Caliptra initiative discussed in this whitepaper is a welcome step towards a widespread adoption of Root of Trust designs i... » read more

Building Security Into ICs From The Ground Up
By John Koon - 05 May, 2022 - Comments: 0

Cyberattacks are becoming more frequent and more sophisticated, but they also are starting to compromise platforms that until recently were considered unbreakable. Consider blockchains, for example, which were developed as secure, distributed ledger platforms. All of them must be updated with the same data for a transaction to proceed. But earlier this year a blockchain bridge platform calle... » read more

Hardware Security Optimization With MITRE CWE
By Anders Nordstrom - 03 Mar, 2022 - Comments: 0

Whether you’re just starting to build out a hardware security program at your organization, or you’re looking to optimize existing hardware security processes, the MITRE Common Weakness Enumeration (CWE) database is an excellent resource to keep in your toolbox. What is CWE? A CWE is a type of vulnerability, or flaw, in the design of either hardware or software in embedded systems. Indi... » read more

ISO/SAE 21434: Secure Hardware Development In Modern Vehicles
By Anders Nordstrom - 03 Feb, 2022 - Comments: 0

Demonstrating the importance of security doesn't get much more memorable than Charlie Miller and Chris Valasek successfully hacking a Jeep and driving it into a ditch. The effects of that drive have been long-reaching, sparking conversations in both the media and automotive industry about the evolving threat landscape as vehicles become increasingly automated. The average car contains over 1... » read more

Cybersecurity For Cars Starts With Chips And IP
By Dana Neustadter - 06 Jan, 2022 - Comments: 0

The automotive industry is undergoing a significant transformation. Cars are becoming more sophisticated and valuable with increased connectivity and capabilities to provide a better user experience. They are also collecting and transmitting more and more sensitive data and thus are becoming very attractive targets for attacks. Cybercrime in the automotive industry is growing rapidly. How bad i... » read more

Hardware Root of Trust: Everything You Need To Know
By Rambus - 05 Jan, 2022 - Comments: 0

As explained in our “Secure Silicon IP Webinar Series“, a root of trust is the security foundation for an SoC, other semiconductor device or electronic system. However, its meaning differs depending on who you ask. For example, the hardware root of trust contains the keys for cryptographic functions and is usually a part of the secure boot process providing the foundation for the software c... » read more

Implementing Secure Boot With A Root Of Trust
By Bart Stevens - 04 Nov, 2021 - Comments: 0

A boot sequence describes the initial set of operations performed by a device at the start of the boot process. During this stage, available resources reside in some form of local, nonvolatile storage that is readily accessible by the device. The entity initiating the startup sequence is known as a boot loader (or bootstrap loader). The boot loader enables forward progression throughout the ... » read more
