The Evolution Of Ethernet To 800G And MACsec Encryption
By Maxim Demchenko - 01 Jul, 2020 - Comments: 0

Ethernet is a frame-based data communication technology that employs variable-sized frames to carry a data payload. This contrasts with long-haul Optical Transport Networks (OTN) that use fixed-sized frames. The size of Ethernet frames ranges from a minimum of 60 bytes up to 1500 bytes, and in case of jumbo frames, up to 9K bytes. A frame is a Layer 2 data container with the physical addresses ... » read more

Reducing Hardware Security Risk
By Jason Oberg - 01 Jul, 2020 - Comments: 0

In today’s world, hackers, computer viruses and cyber-terrorists are making headlines almost daily. Security has become a priority in all aspects of life, and most importantly, of our businesses. Recently hackers have been targeting the heart of our most complex systems, the Application Specific ICs (ASICs) and Systems on Chips (SoCs) that run them. The risk associated with these devices i... » read more

Managing Web Application Security With Coverity
By Synopsys - 30 Jun, 2020 - Comments: 0

While security practitioners can and should play an active role in web application security, only developers are familiar enough with the code to fix software vulnerabilities. For this reason, security teams can most effectively prevent software vulnerabilities from entering production by equipping their development teams with the tools to fix security issues as they’re building applications.... » read more

Real Highlights For Virtual DAC 2020
By Sergio Marchese - 25 Jun, 2020 - Comments: 0

My first time at DAC was in 2006 in San Francisco. I was mesmerized by it: so many people, so much cool technology, so much fun with weird giveaways, raffles, happy hours, the Denali party and Disco Inferno at the legendary Fillmore. DAC is the most important, comprehensive conference for anyone developing integrated circuits (ICs) and systems-on-chips (SoCs). With an incredible list of ... » read more

Fundamental Changes In Economics Of Chip Security
By Ed Sperling - 10 Jun, 2020 - Comments: 0

Protecting chips from cyberattacks is becoming more difficult, more expensive and much more resource-intensive, but it also is becoming increasingly necessary as some of those chips end up in mission-critical servers and in safety-critical applications such as automotive. Security has been on the semiconductor industry's radar for at least the past several years, despite spotty progress and ... » read more

Scaling Anti-Tamper Protection To Meet Escalating Threats
By Scott Best - 04 Jun, 2020 - Comments: 0

Anti-tamper tends to be one of those catchall phrases encompassing any countermeasure on a security chip. A more precise definition would be that anti-tamper protection is any collection of countermeasures that serves to thwart an adversary’s attempt to monitor or affect the correct operation of a chip or a security core within a chip. Given that, it can be useful to think about a hierarchy o... » read more

What Makes A Chip Tamper-Proof?
By Bryon Moyer - 04 Jun, 2020 - Comments: 5

The cyber world is the next major battlefield, and attackers are busily looking for ways to disrupt critical infrastructure. There is widespread proof this is happening. “Twenty-six percent of the U.S. power grid was found to be hosting Trojans," said Haydn Povey, IAR Systems' general manager of embedded security solutions. "In a cyber-warfare situation, that's the first thing that would b... » read more
