Security Risks Mount For Aerospace, Defense Applications
By Liz Allan - 12 May, 2025 - Comments: 1

Supply chain and hardware security vulnerabilities affect all industries, but they pose additional risks for the defense sector. Over-manufacturing and re-manufacturing allow chips from friendly nations to end up in the weapons of adversaries. And side-channel attacks such as power analysis or fault injection, as well as internet-based distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks, provide a mea... » read more

IoT Security By Design
By Lee Harrison - 08 May, 2025 - Comments: 0

After years of anticipation and steady uptake, the Internet of Things (IoT) seems poised to cross over into mainstream business use. The percentage of businesses utilizing IoT technologies has risen from 13% in 2014 to approximately 25% today. Global projections indicate that the number of IoT-connected devices is expected to reach 43 billion by 2030, nearly tripling from the figures in 2018. O... » read more

Side-Channel Attacks On Post-Quantum Cryptography
By Mike Hamburg - 05 May, 2025 - Comments: 0

By Mike Hamburg and Bart Stevens Device security requires designers to secure their algorithms, not only against direct attacks on the input and output, but also against side-channel attacks. This requirement is especially notable for cryptographic algorithms, since they have a regular, well-understood structure, and the secrets they process often give access to much more information. Sid... » read more

Security Power Requirements Are Growing
By Adam Kovac - 28 Apr, 2025 - Comments: 0

Determining how much power to budget for security in a chip design is a complex calculation. It starts with a risk assessment of the cost of a breach and the number of possible attack vectors, and whether security is active or passive. Different forms of root of trust and cryptography have different power costs. Different systems could require tradeoffs between performance and security, whic... » read more

Controlled Shared Memory For Dynamically Controlling Data Communication Via Shared Memory Approaches (ASU, Intel)
By Technical Paper Link - 27 Apr, 2025 - Comments: 0

A new technical paper titled "Controlled Shared Memory (COSM) Isolation: Design and Testbed Evaluation" was published by researchers at Arizona State University and Intel Corporation. Abstract "Recent memory sharing approaches, e.g., based on the Compute Express Link (CXL) standard, allow the flexible high-speed sharing of data (i.e., data communication) among multiple hosts. In information... » read more

Tailoring Root Of Trust Security Capabilities To Specific Customer Needs
By Bart Stevens - 03 Apr, 2025 - Comments: 0

The cybersecurity threat landscape is dynamic and rapidly evolving. Indeed, attackers are constantly finding new ways to exploit critical vulnerabilities across a wide range of applications and devices. Protecting data and devices requires secure processes running on systems and networks. A Root of Trust is the foundation on which all secure operations of a computing system depend. It contai... » read more

Auto Sector Leads The Way In IC Security
By Ann Mutschler - 03 Apr, 2025 - Comments: 0

Concerns about chip and system security are beginning to bear fruit in some markets, driven by the overlap in safety and security in automotive applications and the growing value of algorithms and complex systems in others. But how and when that security is implemented is still all over the map, and so is its effectiveness. The reasons are as nuanced as the designs themselves, which makes it... » read more

Chip Aging Opens Up New Attack Vectors
By Adam Kovac - 03 Apr, 2025 - Comments: 0

The longer a piece of silicon is out in the field the more prone it becomes to a cyberattack, raising questions about the optimal longevity of circuits and the impact of extending their lifetimes. This is particularly challenging for safety- and mission-critical applications, where the cost of development can run as high as $100 million for some of the most complex designs. Chipmakers want t... » read more
