IoT Security: Technology Is Only One Part Of The Equation
By Warren Kurisu - 05 Oct, 2017 - Comments: 0

Survey after survey on the adoption of the IoT punctuates that security and data privacy continue to be the top concerns with any new implementation. It used to be that security was all about protecting data (business, personal ID, etc.), but as more devices are connected to the IoT, security concerns reach far beyond just the value inherent in the data. According to Gartner, nearly 5.5 ... » read more

Putting A Hardware Root-of-Trust To Work In An Anti-Counterfeiting IC
By Scott Best - 04 May, 2017 - Comments: 1

An anti-counterfeiting security IC is conceptually rather simple: during manufacture, it is securely programmed with some secret data. Then during operation, it can prove to a verifying host that it knows that secret data. This “proof of knowledge” is often all that can be expected of a low-cost security IC. This prove-you-know-the-secret authentication process between the security IC an... » read more

Five Ways To Avoid Being The Next IoT Security Headline
By Rob Coombs - 08 Dec, 2016 - Comments: 0

Whether it is the remote hacking of cars or the rise of the IoT botnet we have all read the scary headlines: security for the IoT is a growing issue. But how exactly do you stop your company and your product appearing on the front page, as part of the latest security violation story? Security in IoT is more than just the processor, it requires an approach that protects the entire system and all... » read more

Incorporating IoT Security At The Design Phase
By Asaf Ashkenazi - 01 Dec, 2016 - Comments: 0

The U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has outlined six Strategic Principles for securing the Internet of Things. Perhaps the most important of these principles is the concept of implementing security at the design phase, with the DHS recommending the use of hardware that incorporates security features to strengthen the protection and integrity of a device. This includes leveraging comp... » 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

Designing Automotive Security For Connected Vehicles
By Asaf Ashkenazi - 04 Aug, 2016 - Comments: 0

The general concept of basic automotive security has been around for a number of years. Nevertheless, its scale and scope is rapidly evolving, with new classes of vulnerabilities brought to the fore as more and more electronic systems go online. Put simply, the automotive industry is connecting systems that weren’t originally designed to be part of the rapidly burgeoning Internet of Things (I... » read more

One-Time-Programmable Memories For IoT Security
By Paolo Piacentini - 07 Apr, 2016 - Comments: 0

Security in the IoT space is an issue of major concern. Hackers are attacking IoT devices across all layers of the infrastructure, from the application layer down to protocol, to the physical and deep into the IoT devices. I intend to focus on vulnerability prevention for IoT devices at the lowest level: memory structure and key storage. I conclude with indicating highly important features a... » read more
