Stepping Up To Greater Security
By Neeraj Paliwal - 02 Sep, 2021 - Comments: 0

The stakes for security grow with each passing day. The value of our data, our devices, and our network infrastructure continually increases as does our dependence on these vital resources. Reports appear weekly, and often daily, that describe security vulnerabilities in deployments. There is a steady drumbeat of successful attacks on systems that were assumed to be protecting infrastructure, i... » read more

The Early Bird Gets More Secure Hardware
By Rob van Blommestein - 02 Sep, 2021 - Comments: 0

I’m sure you’ve heard the expression “The early bird gets the worm.” This proverb emphasizes the importance of starting something early to maximize the potential outcome. In terms of hardware security, this idiom is spot on. Cybersecurity shouldn’t only be about protecting the software from attacks. Hardware is just as important. Cyberattacks continue to advance significantly, prog... » read more

AppSec Risk: The Dangers And How to Manage Them
By Synopsys - 01 Sep, 2021 - Comments: 0

As software continues to deliver more features than ever before, its quality and security are increasingly crucial to the success of every organization. Building secure software makes business sense for a variety of reasons, including diminishing financial liability and improving competitive advantage. Keeping track of every software vulnerability, however, is taxing and time-consuming—and... » read more

Power/Performance Bits: Aug. 31
By Jesse Allen - 31 Aug, 2021 - Comments: 0

Securing memory Researchers at Columbia University suggest several ways to make computing more secure without imposing a system performance penalty. The efforts focus on memory security, specifically pointers. "Memory safety has been a problem for nearly 40 years and numerous solutions have been proposed. We believe that memory safety continues to be a problem because it does not distribute... » read more

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
