Internet of Things Design Considerations For Embedded Connected Devices
By Mentor, a Siemens Business - 11 Jun, 2014 - Comments: 0

Embedded connectivity has been around since the early days of M2M. But what is new are the many complexities and emerging standards embedded system developers need to know if they are to design the latest IoT device. This paper delves into many of the key considerations developers need to know and discusses the critical areas of IoT security and connectivity along with the importance of a prove... » read more

Blog Review: June 11
By Ed Sperling - 11 Jun, 2014 - Comments: 0

eSilicon’s Jack Harding says that EDA and semiconductors need to focus heavily on recruiting the next generation of brilliant engineers. This technology is cool, and even better it makes all the other cool technology work. It’s time to remind the rest of the world. Cadence’s Brian Fuller distills a panel discussion at DAC on computer vision—the sensors that enable driverless cars, a... » read more

The Hidden Side Of Security
By Ed Sperling - 05 Jun, 2014 - Comments: 0

Inside of large chip companies, security is being taken very seriously these days. They just don’t talk about it very much—and sometimes not at all, even to their own employees. In fact, procedures have been instituted inside all of the major chipmakers to ensure that chips are secure on every level, including who gets to see what data within those companies, according to multiple Semico... » read more

M2M And The Internet Of Things
By Ernest Worthman - 05 Jun, 2014 - Comments: 1

Securing the Internet of Things/Everything (IoT/E) is a bit like herding cats. There are so many elements that will make up the IoT/E, it may seem an insurmountable objective to corral them all into a single stable. By some accounts, we’re on our way toward 200 billion Internet-connected machines by 2020, according to IDC. Soon we will live in a world where automated machine-to-machine (M2M) ... » read more

It Takes An Army
By Ed Sperling - 05 Jun, 2014 - Comments: 0

Security has always been a two-way educational process. The bad guys figure out where the weaknesses are, and the good guys figure out how they got in and ways to prevent it. This worked fine for antivirus software in the early days of the PC era, because viruses typically were generalized and the damage they did was rather crude and frequently reversible. Increasingly, however, a deep under... » read more

It’s All IP In An SoC
By Ernest Worthman - 05 Jun, 2014 - Comments: 1

[getkc id="43" comment="IP"] (IP) has become the major building blocks of complex, highly integrated systems on chips ([getkc id="81" kc_name="SoC"]s), which are found in almost every modern, intelligent electronic device. They have evolved into a one-chip solution that manages many to all of the functions, features, and applications that are found in the ubiquitous sea of today’s electronic... » read more

Locking Down The Chip
By Ernest Worthman - 05 Jun, 2014 - Comments: 1

The crypto processor is poised to break into the mainstream SoC world. Lower costs for manufacturing, coupled with rising security concerns from increased connectivity and growing complexity have cracked open the door on this approach to locking down a chip. Crypto processors aren’t a new concept, but they generally have been reserved for high-end applications. Until recently, they have ju... » read more

Securing Your Intestinal Data
By Ernest Worthman - 05 Jun, 2014 - Comments: 0

Medical devices that use IP or wireless protocols to pass data and instruction between the host and the client aren’t all that unique. What is unique is the diversity, intensity, and depth of today’s security breaches, particularly in the face of the emerging Internet of Things/Everything (IoT/E) and the general lack of security across such medical devices. These elements can lay these medi... » read more

Mobile Device Security
By Rambus - 05 Jun, 2014 - Comments: 0

As the functionality of mobile devices has increased, so have the threats. These devices make attractive targets, given the sensitivity of user and corporate data they process and store, their emerging use for viewing protected content and conducting sensitive banking and payment transactions. Until recently, hardware and software based defenses for mobile platforms lagged behind those found in... » read more

Executive Insight: Charles Janac
By Ed Sperling - 30 May, 2014 - Comments: 0

SE: What’s your biggest concern? Janac: Staying current. One of the things that is really important is to understand shifts in the marketplace. In the past, we looked at whether to target our interconnect solution at digital TV or mobility. This was actually a very interesting question in 2005. The DTV market looked better, but we were not getting enough evaluations. We were doing better i... » read more
