Airbus A320 Recall: Rethinking Fault Testing In Aerospace
By Marc Witteman - 08 Jan, 2026 - Comments: 0

Fault injection is usually discussed in the context of security, where adversaries deliberately induce faults to bypass protections or extract sensitive information. In safety engineering, by contrast, faults are often treated as rare, random events driven by natural or environmental factors. The recent Airbus A320 recall is a good example of how a primarily safety incident can still benefit fr... » read more

Securing Terabit Ethernet Networks With 1.6T MACsec Security Modules
By Dana Neustadter - 08 Jan, 2026 - Comments: 0

By Dana Neustadter and Vincent van der Leest In the realm of high-performance computing (HPC) and data centers, Ethernet is one of the interfaces of choice due to its scalability, reliability, and broad industry support. Ethernet's ability to efficiently handle large volumes of data makes it ideal for HPC environments that require high-speed data transmission and seamless integration with ex... » read more

Security Threats Converge On IoT, Industrial ICs, Physical AI
By Liz Allan - 08 Jan, 2026 - Comments: 0

Devices in a broad range of edge AI applications are increasingly at risk of hacking or tampering, with the stakes varying greatly depending on how much the device can impact and interact with human life. Design methods and protection techniques must now be included up front in the design cycle for optimal protection of consumers and companies as the quantum threat looms. In today’s factor... » read more

AI Workloads at the Edge: Ensuring Performance, Privacy, and Security

Experts At The Table: Semiconductor Engineering gathered a group of experts to discuss why some AI workloads are better suited for on-device processing to achieve consistent performance, avoid network connectivity issues, reduce cloud computing costs, and ensure privacy. The panel included Frank Ferro, group director in the Silicon Solutions Group at Cadence; Eduardo Montanez, vice president a... » read more

Zero-Trust Data Sharing Architectures Redefining Chip Manufacturing
By Anne Meixner - 09 Dec, 2025 - Comments: 0

Real-time security clearances are becoming increasingly common in the manufacturing of advanced-node semiconductors, where data sharing is both essential and a potential security threat. Data security is a well-known issue in semiconductor manufacturing, but much of it is based on an outdated approach. In its place, zero-trust architectures [1] are now a requirement for new equipment and ins... » read more

Securing The Design Journey
By Matt Walsh - 04 Dec, 2025 - Comments: 0

In automotive, security, and pervasive computing, the stakes of failure have never been higher. Functional safety, security compliance, long product lifecycles, and system resilience are no longer differentiators — they are baseline requirements. Yet many semiconductor and system companies are still relying on an outdated engagement model built around static datasheets, fragmented tools, and ... » read more

TEE.fail: When Your Security System Leaves the Window Open
By Scott Best - 04 Dec, 2025 - Comments: 0

Let’s talk about a cybersecurity attack that’s been making waves: TEE.fail. TEE stands for Trusted Execution Environment. Sounds reassuring, right? But here’s the kicker: exactly what a TEE is, and what it’s supposed to guarantee, is surprisingly unclear. TEEs have been around for about a decade, but as with many things in security, the rules are more like guidelines. You might think, �... » read more

What The EU Cyber Resilience Act Means For Digital Product Makers
By Mafalda Monteiro Oiveira Cortez - 04 Dec, 2025 - Comments: 0

The EU Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) is set to become a defining regulation for all manufacturers and developers of digital products that touch the EU market. It introduces strict requirements for cybersecurity practices, risk management, and compliance procedures, affecting a wide range of stakeholders from software developers to hardware vendors. This article unpacks what the CRA is, who it af... » read more

Small Language Models Create New Security Risks
By Ed Sperling - 04 Dec, 2025 - Comments: 0

The rollout of edge AI is creating new security risks due to a mix of small language models (SLMs), their integration into increasingly complex hardware, and the behavior and interactions of both over time. AI data centers still garner the most attention due to massive investments and an ongoing flood of deals and acquisitions, but the edge is quietly starting to take shape for several reaso... » read more

Harnessing Silicon Lifecycle Management For Chip Security
By Ann Mutschler - 04 Dec, 2025 - Comments: 0

Silicon lifecycle management is starting to be used in ways that extend well beyond its original mission of ensuring a chip functions to spec throughout its expected lifetime. While tracking aging effects and component failures are still important, the technology also is being deployed to proactively monitor, authenticate, and respond to potential threats in real-time. In fact, not applying ... » read more
