Always On, Always At Risk
By Ed Sperling - 18 Aug, 2021 - Comments: 0

Always-on devices are everywhere, and each of them is a potential target for hackers. While many people associate always-on devices with smart speakers such as an Amazon Alexa or Google Home, or a connected security camera, that's only one component in a system. There's a broader infrastructure behind those devices. So even if you power down a digital assistant/smart speaker, everything it's... » read more

Implementing Improved Security And Connectivity For The Smart Home
By Steve Hanna - 16 Aug, 2021 - Comments: 0

The smart home continues to evolve in available functions and complexity as several different connectivity protocols from numerous suppliers target a variety of products for use in smart homes. However, many consumers (71% according to incontrol) acknowledge fear of their personal information being stolen while using smart home products. At the same time, ease of use for user-installed products... » read more

Post-Quantum Cryptography
By Arm - 11 Aug, 2021 - Comments: 0

Quantum computing is increasingly seen as a threat to communications security: rapid progress towards realizing practical quantum computers has drawn attention to the long understood potential of such machines to break fundamentals of contemporary cryptographic infrastructure. While this potential is so far firmly theoretical, the cryptography community is preparing for this possibility by deve... » read more

Embedded Security Using Cryptography
By Sriram Sharma Kalluri - 09 Aug, 2021 - Comments: 0

In the previous blog post, “Securing Offload Engines for a Robust Secure SoC System,” we briefly looked at some of the methods employed for achieving embedded security, i.e., cryptography, hardware partitioning and isolation, and hardware root of trust. In this blog, and subsequent blogs, we will explore more about each of these approaches in detail. Cryptography is not a new concept. It... » read more

Building A More Secure SoC
By Gajinder Panesar - 05 Aug, 2021 - Comments: 1

SoC integrators know that a software-only chip security plan leaves devices open to attack. All that a hacker needs to do is find a way to replace key parts of the bootloader or the low-level firmware to compromise other software in the system used to support secure access. The most simple attacks come remotely over a network, and these can be patched with software upgrades. However, we see ... » read more

Protecting Automotive SoCs Starts With Secure IP
By Dana Neustadter - 05 Aug, 2021 - Comments: 0

The automotive industry is undergoing a significant transformation. Cars are becoming more sophisticated and valuable with increased connectivity and capabilities to provide a better user experience. They are also collecting and transmitting more and more sensitive data and thus are becoming very attractive targets for attacks. Cybercrime in the automotive industry is growing rapidly. How bad i... » read more

Does Your IC Security Need A Renovation?
By McKenzie Ross - 05 Aug, 2021 - Comments: 0

Five years ago, I moved from Silicon Valley to Gig Harbor, Washington and bought a fixer-upper. As part of my ongoing (and extensive) home renovations, I just finished having the entire exterior redone: roof, siding, paint, masonry, front porch, back deck, outdoor lighting, the works. If you’ve ever embarked on any kind of home remodel project, I don’t have to tell you that the process incl... » read more

Auto Displays: Bigger, Brighter, More Numerous
By Ann Mutschler - 05 Aug, 2021 - Comments: 0

Displays are rapidly becoming more critical to the central brains in automobiles, accelerating the adoption and evolution of this technology to handle multiple types of audio, visual, and other data traffic coming into and flowing throughout the vehicle. These changes are having a broad impact on the entire design-through-manufacturing flow for display chip architectures. In the past, these ... » read more

Securing The SoC Life Cycle
By Bart Stevens - 05 Aug, 2021 - Comments: 0

Over the course of its life, an SoC (system on chip) goes through multiple life cycle states which are different in character and have varying and sometimes contradictory security requirements. In each state, the SoC may be under different ownership in the supply chain. Also, as it transitions through different manufacturing phases, it is subject to a different set of possible attacks, which sh... » read more

The Evolving Landscape Of SoC Vulnerabilities And Analog Threats
By Siemens EDA - 04 Aug, 2021 - Comments: 0

SoC integrators know that a software-only chip security plan leaves devices open to attack. The more effective way to thwart hackers is to combat both digital and analog threats by incorporating security-focused hardware modules built into the core machine design. This paper describes sources of vulnerabilities to cyber attacks and what infrastructure is needed to secure against them. The So... » read more
