Semiconductor Engineering sat down to discuss whether the [getkc id="76" comment="Internet of Things"] will be secure enough, or whether it will create new security issues, with Sami Nassar, general manager of [getentity id="22499" comment="NXP Semiconductor"]; Oleg Logvinov, director for special assignments at [getentity id="22331" comment="STMicroelectronics"]; and Lawrence Loh, application e... » read more

Making Smart Grids Safe
By Ernest Worthman - 02 Oct, 2014 - Comments: 0

There is little doubt that an intelligent power grid is not only desirable, but necessary in today’s power hungry world. As the global power grid veins its electric tentacles into the farthest reaches of the ecosystem, being able to allocate and monitor what power is needed, where and when will be the model going forward. There are a lot of issues that face the deployment of a smart grid �... » read more

The JTAG Connection
By Ernest Worthman - 02 Oct, 2014 - Comments: 0

It is fairly common knowledge that hacking into today’s intelligent Internet devices is child’s play in most cases. The main reason is that the devices have little or no innate security designed in. When they do have some level of security, it is generally provisioned by software running on the host system, to which the devices are connected. But that only works with a device on the grid.

‘Hardening’ SoCs For Automotive Market Challenges
By Kurt Shuler - 26 Sep, 2014 - Comments: 0

The semiconductor is enamored with the automotive, industrial and medical markets, and many companies are now shifting their focus there. But many mainstream vendors will face challenges entering this market. For those who have traditionally participated in the smart phone or mobility market, I will outline some changes they need to consider to successfully compete in these emerging spaces. ... » read more

New Tools Enabling The Internet of Things
By Frank Schirrmeister - 25 Sep, 2014 - Comments: 0

Last week I attended CDNLive Boston as a speaker and was really looking forward to the keynote given by Samuel H. Fuller, CTO and VP of R&D at Analog Devices, called “The Third Exponential Wave and the Challenges Ahead”. It was great to see, re-affirmed by Dr. Fuller, a lot of my thoughts about the Internet of Things and how it requires new tools in EDA. This, by the way, conveniently t... » read more

How Chip Vendors Counter Security Vulnerabilities In The IoT
By Tony Massimini - 18 Sep, 2014 - Comments: 0

The objective of the Internet of Things is connectivity and interoperability of many connected devices. There is a large amount of data that is being generated. This data is transmitted from end devices, the “things,” through a network of gateways, routers, smartphones, PCs and other devices up to the cloud into vast databases. Many sources of little data develop into Big Data. Information ... » read more

Limiters To The Internet Of Things
By Brian Bailey - 11 Sep, 2014 - Comments: 0

“Specialization is for insects.” Robert A. Heinlein, Time Enough for Love In many respects, the [getkc id="76" kc_name="Internet of Things"] (IoT) is already here. But because most of it is not directed at the consumer space, it seamlessly blends into the environment, unnoticed by everyone except for those who are reaping the benefits of it. When we talk about the IoT, most people concentr... » read more

Smart Grid Security
By Mentor, a Siemens Business - 10 Sep, 2014 - Comments: 0

Smart energy is an all-inclusive term that refers to upgrading the energy grid so it can support bi-directional flow of energy and data. Such an endeavor involves adding connectivity, communication, and security features not only to the smart grid but to the many devices connected to a smart grid. But how do you ensure all devices on the network are secure? This paper looks into two key softwar... » read more

Tools Mentor Graphics unveiled a hypervisor with configuration, debugging and hardware support. The solution is aimed at a variety of vertical markets, ranging from industrial and medical to consumer electronics. NXP uncorked a passive Inter-Integrated Circuit (I²C) solution for near-field communications tagging, allowing appliances, wearables and consumer electronics to use existing NFC-... » read more

Supply Chain Corruption
By Ernest Worthman - 04 Sep, 2014 - Comments: 0

The more the chip supply chain relies on third-party sources, the greater the risk for a design containing potential malicious code or functions. Today, complex and sophisticated ICs are ubiquitous in virtually every industry. They are being relied upon, as never before, to control critical infrastructure subsystems such as power, finance, communications, and transportation. In a recent r... » read more
