Semiconductor Engineering sat down to discuss the future of the IoT with Oleg Logvinov, director of market development for STMicroelectronics’ Industrial and Power Conversion Division; Martin Lund, senior vice president of the IP Group at Cadence; Naveed Sherwani, president and CEO of Open-Silicon; and Damon Hernandez, a member of the Web3D Consortium. What follows are excerpts of that conver... » read more

Lessons From Healthcare.gov
By Michael Watts - 01 Nov, 2013 - Comments: 0

Patterning equipment uses software and needs software security. With that rather weak segue, I would like to discuss software projects, considering they are in the news at the moment. The stories about the healthcare.gov rollout bring back fond memories for all of us of software projects that have gone horribly wrong. On the list of things that guarantee a project will miss deadlines, late c... » read more

The Week In Review: Oct. 18
By Mark LaPedus - 18 Oct, 2013 - Comments: 0

By Mark LaPedus & Ed Sperling The problems continue with extreme ultraviolet (EUV) lithography. ASML promised to deliver an 80 Watt power source by year’s end. Now, the company said it only will have a 70 Watt source by mid-2014. “We are focusing on reaching the 70 Watts by the middle of next year,” said Peter Wennink, ASML’s CEO, in a conference call to discuss the company’s res... » read more

Jasper Security Path Verification
By Various Writers - 10 Oct, 2013 - Comments: 0

Security path verification is the ability to verify the lack of existence of functional paths touching secure areas of a design. The Jasper security verification technology used in security path verification is based on path sensitization technology, which is used to find paths propagating data to and from secure areas. The Jasper technology can be used to verify requirements that are not exp... » read more

How Secure Is Your Design?
By Joseph Hupcey III - 10 Oct, 2013 - Comments: 0

Once upon a time, secure hardware was only needed for mil-aero and banking systems. Today, numerous industrial and consumer applications require special hardware to protect data required for digital rights management, electronic wallets, private encryption keys, or medical information. Current methodologies to verify that such hardware is impervious to attack and/or the data within remains s... » read more

How Secure Are Low-Power Techniques?
By Ann Mutschler - 12 Sep, 2013 - Comments: 0

As a chip designer, you and your team have done the best job possible to optimize power in your SoC, likely utilizing all of the low power techniques at your disposal. The chip tapes out, gets implemented into systems and it’s a success! Then the call comes that your chip has been hacked within the system it’s in and you and your team are left shaking your heads in wonder. I can imagine ... » read more

The IC Supply Chain: The Day After Tomorrow
By Atrenta - 12 Sep, 2013 - Comments: 0

Last month, I wrote about the implications of hacking in a connected world. Judgment Day from the Terminator franchise came to mind. All that paranoia is still “out there” a bit, I admit. Let’s bring it down to a more pedestrian level in this post… Plenty has been written about the disaggregated, distributed, worldwide semiconductor supply chain. Design groups all over the world work... » read more

Security And Convergence
By Ann Mutschler - 08 Aug, 2013 - Comments: 0

I’ve had a lot on my mind the past few weeks while reporting on seemingly disparate topics like the Internet of Things, embedded software and hardware accelerators, but in the world today, these things are really tightly connected, actually. They all boil down to convergence and security in my mind. Looking at the Internet of Things (IoT), which promises to connect all of us and all of our... » read more

Verifying Security Aspects Of SoC Designs
By Various Writers - 08 Aug, 2013 - Comments: 0

This paper presents Jasper technology and methodology to verify the robustness of secure data access and the absence of functional paths touching secure areas of a design. Recently, we have seen an increasing demand in industrial hardware design to verify security information. Complex system-on-chips, such as those for cell phones, game consoles, and servers contain secure information. And it i... » read more
