Calibrate And Configure Your Power Management IC With NVM IP
By Synopsys - 09 Feb, 2022 - Comments: 0

Power Management Integrated Circuits (PMICs) are the first to turn on and the last to turn off in a system. They perform the task of delivering the right voltage to component chips by regulating or boosting the voltage levels to the component chips. Some PMICs are configured once at the factory and an area-efficient OTP NVM is the best choice. When a PMIC is expected to be re-configured mult... » read more

ISO/SAE 21434: Secure Hardware Development In Modern Vehicles
By Anders Nordstrom - 03 Feb, 2022 - Comments: 0

Demonstrating the importance of security doesn't get much more memorable than Charlie Miller and Chris Valasek successfully hacking a Jeep and driving it into a ditch. The effects of that drive have been long-reaching, sparking conversations in both the media and automotive industry about the evolving threat landscape as vehicles become increasingly automated. The average car contains over 1... » read more

Building A Defense In Depth Against Cyberattacks
By Bart Stevens - 03 Feb, 2022 - Comments: 0

As the number and type of cyberattacks, from the “simple and cheap” to the “expensive and sophisticated,” continues to grow at a dramatic pace, protection of chips and devices must employ a defense in depth strategy. In this way, if an attacker successfully bypasses a mechanism of protection, they’ll face another layer of defense, rather than a clear path to the assets they seek to ex... » read more

Data Security Challenges In Automotive
By Ann Mutschler - 03 Feb, 2022 - Comments: 1

Automakers are scrambling to prevent security breaches and data hacks in new vehicles while simultaneously adding new and increasingly autonomous features into vehicles that can open the door to new vulnerabilities. These two goals are often at odds. As with security in any complex system, nothing is ever completely secure. But even getting a handle on this multilayered issue is a challenge.... » read more

Power Grids Under Attack
By John Koon - 03 Feb, 2022 - Comments: 0

Cyberattacks are becoming as troublesome to the electrical power grid as natural disasters, and the problem is growing worse as these grids become more connected and smarter. Unlike in the past, when a power outage affected just the electricity supplied to homes and businesses, power grids are becoming core elements of smart cities, infrastructure, and safety-related services. Without power,... » read more

Health Care Is Gold Mine For Hackers
By John Koon - 24 Jan, 2022 - Comments: 0

Today’s digital health care systems are facing relentless cyberattacks, which are targeting health care organizations as well as the medical devices they use. The critical nature and size of the U.S. health care market — an estimated $3.5 trillion in 2020, with substantial growth anticipated — make it a favorite target of hackers. Vanson Bourne conducted a survey for Sophos in early 20... » read more

FortifyIQ: Hardware Security Verification
By Zoya Hasan - 18 Jan, 2022 - Comments: 0

What’s the best way to protect against side-channel attacks? FortifyIQ believes the answer lies at least partly in the verification process. Side channel and fault-injection attacks have been garnering more attention lately as hackers continue to branch out from software to a combination of software and hardware. This is especially worrying for safety-critical applications, such as automot... » read more

The Importance Of Layering Data
By Ed Sperling - 11 Jan, 2022 - Comments: 0

The chip industry generates enormous quantities of data, from design through manufacturing, but much of it is unavailable or incomplete. And even when and where it is available, it is frequently under-utilized. While there has been much work done in terms of establishing traceability and data formats, the cross-pollination of data between companies and between equipment makers at various pro... » read more

High-Quality Test And Embedded Analytics For Secure Applications
By Siemens EDA - 11 Jan, 2022 - Comments: 0

Designs for secure applications such as smart cards and those used in the defense industry require security to ensure sensitive data is inaccessible to outside agents. This used to be a somewhat niche requirement and the implementation of custom solutions to meet these specific requirements was common. However, with the explosion within the semiconductor industry of automotive and cyber-phys... » read more

High-Quality Test And Embedded Analytics Are Vital For Secure SoCs
By Lee Harrison - 11 Jan, 2022 - Comments: 0

Applications like as smart cards and devices used in the defense industry require security to ensure that sensitive data is inaccessible to outside agents. This used to be a niche requirement met through custom solutions. However, now that automotive and cyber-physical systems are proliferating, the requirements around secure test and monitoring are becoming mainstream. The current best strateg... » read more
