Architecting Hardware Protection For Data At Rest, In Motion, And In Use
By Bart Stevens - 05 Jan, 2023 - Comments: 0

Planning the security architecture for any device begins with the security threat model. The threat model describes the types of attacks that the device or application may face and needs to be protected against. It is based on what attackers can do, what level of control they have over the product (i.e., remote, or direct access), and how much money and effort they are willing and able to spend... » read more

Security Highlight: Compromising Printers Via Malicious Third-Party Cartridges
By Nicole Fern - 05 Jan, 2023 - Comments: 0

This fall, HP Inc. published an article describing a buffer overflow vulnerability in their printer software which would allow an attacker to obtain persistent remote code execution on the printer. Buffer overflow vulnerabilities are common, but what makes this one noteworthy is that it can be exploited remotely by a malicious third-party printer cartridge. In the printer ecosystem, there ... » read more

Navigating The Intersection Of Safety And Security
By Jacob Wiltgen - 05 Jan, 2023 - Comments: 0

Automotive IC safety and security continue to be hot topics across the industry, and one phrase you may often hear during discussion is: An automotive IC can be secure without needing to be safe, but an automotive IC cannot be safe without also being secure. Adding a bit of detail to that: An automotive IC which has an incomplete security architecture provides potential attack vectors w... » read more

Automotive, Mobility Automotive chip shortages will continue until 2025, according to reports in a Financial Times (FT) article. Demand for SiC power chips will remain high. Onsemi reportedly is already sold out of the power semiconductors. Archer Aviation’s Midnight eVTOL (electric vertical take-off and landing) is listed in the Federal Register now by The U.S. Federal Aviation Administr... » read more

Designing And Securing Chips For Outer Space
By Marie C. Baca - 19 Dec, 2022 - Comments: 2

Design considerations for hardware used in space go far beyond radiation hardening. These devices have to perform flawlessly for years, under extreme temperature variations, and potentially banged up by space junk or other particles floating in the void over its projected lifetime. Reliability in space adds a whole different set of design considerations. For example, while it's unlikely anyo... » read more

Ensuring Your Semiconductor Test Equipment Is Protected From Rising Cybersecurity Threats
By Eli Roth - 06 Dec, 2022 - Comments: 0

Cybersecurity threats pose risks to your business every day and can attack every aspect of your operation, and these threats are only increasing. According to IBM Security’s Cost of a Data Breach Report, in 2021, the average total cost of a data breach increased by nearly 10% year over year, from $3.86M to $4.24M – the largest single year cost increase in the last seven years. Sourc... » read more

Cybersecurity Risks Of Automotive OTA
By John Koon - 01 Dec, 2022 - Comments: 0

Modern vehicles increasingly resemble supercomputers on wheels, with many electronic control units (ECUs) networked together as increasingly sophisticated software is installed and updated. Similar to smartphones, vehicle OEMs will contact vehicle owners remotely about operating system updates that add new features and/or fixes, as well as software bugs and vulnerabilities. But all of this h... » read more

Creating Comprehensive And Verifiable Hardware Security Requirements
By Anders Nordstrom - 01 Dec, 2022 - Comments: 0

Developing effective hardware security requirements is one of the trickiest aspects of building trustworthy electronic products. Even highly skilled and experienced teams don’t always get it right. Why? First, it’s very difficult to anticipate every security risk – much less cover every possible scenario with a specific security requirement. Instead, hardware security requirements o... » read more

Security Solutions In A World Of IoT Devices
By Marcel van Loon - 03 Nov, 2022 - Comments: 0

Internet of Things (IoT) devices are everywhere these days adding tremendous value, but unfortunately also representing unprecedented levels of risk for exploitation. Anything that is connected to the internet is potentially hackable. Securing connected devices is a challenge and is top of mind for electronics manufacturers who want to avoid the embarrassment of having their devices hacked. The... » read more

Post-Quantum And Pre-Quantum Security Issues Grow
By Marie C. Baca - 03 Nov, 2022 - Comments: 2

General-purpose quantum computers will be able to crack the codes that protect much of the world’s information, and while these machines don’t exist yet, security experts say governments and businesses are starting to prepare for encryption in a post-quantum world. The task is made all the more challenging because no one knows exactly how future quantum machines will work, or even which mat... » read more
