Cryptography Does Not Equal Security
By Bart Stevens - 09 Jan, 2025 - Comments: 0

At Rambus, we often receive RFIs, RFPs and RFQs for security silicon IP cores to be used in our customer’s next semiconductor product. Such requests often contain a long shopping list of required cryptographic algorithms, their modes of operation, their key lengths or strengths and performance and sizing requirements. Depending on the target segment, additional requirements such as robustness... » read more

Edge And IoT Security Turning A Corner
By Ed Sperling - 09 Jan, 2025 - Comments: 0

Security is beginning to improve for a wide range of IoT and edge devices due to better tools, the implementation of new standards and methodologies, and an increasing level of collaboration and communication across different market segments that in the past had little or no interaction. Until recently, many vendors in cost-sensitive markets offered the bare minimum of security. To make matt... » read more

Averting Hacks Of PCIe Transport Using CMA/SPDM
By Siemens EDA - 09 Jan, 2025 - Comments: 0

This paper describes the component measurement and authentication (CMA) and security protocol and data model (SPDM) flow used to establish the secure channels required for the transmission of encrypted packets. The various approaches, namely the symmetric and asymmetric flows, will be discussed in establishing a secure connection with the implementation of CMA/SPDM packets through data objects.... » read more

Enhancing Compute Security Architecture For New-Age Applications
By Ajay Kapoor - 05 Dec, 2024 - Comments: 0

New-age AI-powered applications are becoming increasingly essential in our daily lives. Continuing to do so requires that these applications and services meet three primary challenges: Achieving high performance for complex compute tasks. Ensuring cost-effectiveness and seamless integration with existing infrastructure. Maintaining robust security and privacy measures. Historicall... » read more

Tools Needed To Track, Catalog Hardware Vulnerabilities
By Adam Kovac - 05 Dec, 2024 - Comments: 0

Monitoring for cyberattacks is a key component of hardware-based security, but what happens afterward is equally important. Logging and cataloging identified hardware vulnerabilities to ensure they are not repeated is essential for security. In fact, thousands of weak points have been identified as part of the chip design process, and even posted publicly online. Nevertheless, many companies... » read more

Where Cryptography Is Headed
By Adam Kovac - 05 Dec, 2024 - Comments: 0

Reports began surfacing in October that Chinese researchers used a quantum computer to crack military-grade AES 256-bit encryption. Those reports turned out to be wrong, but that did little to dampen concerns about what would happen if it was true. The looming threat of quantum computers breaking today's encryption, and the stockpiling of encrypted data in preparation for a time when it can ... » read more

Providing Line-Rate Network Security With MACsec
By Maxim Demchenko - 07 Nov, 2024 - Comments: 0

Network security protocols are the primary means of securing data in motion; that is, data communicated between closely connected physical devices or between devices and even virtual machines connected using a complex, geographically distributed infrastructure. This blog will explore Media Access Control security (MACsec) and how it can be used to provide foundational level network security for... » read more

PCIe IP With Enhanced Security For The Automotive Market
By Dana Neustadter - 07 Nov, 2024 - Comments: 0

The automotive industry is undergoing a rapid transformation, with connectivity and automation becoming integral components of modern vehicles. However, this increased connectivity also brings heightened risks. The automotive industry takes many measures to ensure safety for vehicles, but it is crucial to understand that these safety measures are ineffective if the vehicle's security is comprom... » read more

The Growing Imperative Of Hardware Security Assurance In IP And SoC Design
By Pavani Jella - 24 Oct, 2024 - Comments: 0

In an era where technology permeates every aspect of our lives, the semiconductor industry serves as the backbone of innovation. From IoT devices to data centers, every piece of technology relies on integrated circuits (ICs) such as intellectual property (IP) cores and system on chips (SoCs). As these technologies become increasingly pervasive, the importance of hardware security assurance in t... » read more

LLMs Show Promise In Secure IC Design
By Adam Kovac - 21 Oct, 2024 - Comments: 0

The introduction of large language models into the EDA flow could significantly reduce the time, effort, and cost of designing secure chips and systems, but they also could open the door to more sophisticated attacks. It's still early days for the use of LLMs in chip and system design. The technology is just beginning to be implemented, and there are numerous technical challenges that must b... » read more
