Customization And Limitations At The Edge
By Ed Sperling - 10 Aug, 2020 - Comments: 0

Semiconductor Engineering sat down to discuss the edge constraints and the need for security with Jeff DeAngelis, managing director of the Industrial and Healthcare Business Unit at Maxim Integrated; Norman Chang, chief technologist at Ansys; Andrew Grant, senior director of artificial intelligence at Imagination Technologies; Thomas Ensergueix, senior director of the automotive and IoT line of... » read more

Better Security, Lower Cost
By Ed Sperling - 10 Aug, 2020 - Comments: 0

For years, chipmakers have marginalized security in chips, relying instead on software solutions. Eventually that approach caught up with them, creating near panic in a scramble to plug weaknesses involving speculative execution and branch prediction, as well as the ability to read the data from chips with commercially available tools such as optical probes. There were several reasons for th... » read more

Combating Counterfeit Chips
By Paul Karazuba - 06 Aug, 2020 - Comments: 0

The harsh reality is that today, the authenticity of chips is often impossible to guarantee. The counterfeit chip market is sizeable and growing with a worldwide value estimated at $75B in 2019. Those counterfeits are believed to have been integrated into more than $169B of electronic devices. Recent confirmed incidents of counterfeit parts found in electronic systems include defibrillators, ai... » read more

Welcome To 6 Minutes Of Security
By Sergio Marchese - 06 Aug, 2020 - Comments: 0

Yet another blog on security! Oh, wait, this is hardware security – and trust. While secure hardware should be free from vulnerabilities in general, I use the term trust to refer to the belief that a semiconductor intellectual property (IP) or integrated circuit (IC) is free from malicious, intentionally inserted vulnerabilities. Hardware security is on the rise. The media is helping. ... » read more

Hardware Security: A Critical Piece Of The Cybersecurity Puzzle
By Andreas Kuehlmann - 06 Aug, 2020 - Comments: 0

Cybersecurity is a critical foundation of our rapidly expanding digital world spanning hardware and software that powers everything from our personal devices to the global infrastructure. Over the past decade, significant progress has been made in many security domains, especially in maturing secure software development processes. So far, hardware security has received limited attention, howeve... » read more

When You Can’t Afford To Scrimp On System Reliability
By Christine Young - 06 Aug, 2020 - Comments: 0

Failure happens, whether we like it or not. What’s important is to be prepared for failure to occur, which involves putting in place measures that allow us to quickly address or resolve the problem. But not all failures are created equally. For example, a laptop that you use daily might experience occasional glitches. If it’s well-designed, you can simply reset the machine to get it back to... » read more

Virtualization In The Car
By Ann Mutschler - 06 Aug, 2020 - Comments: 1

As the automotive industry grapples with complexity due to electrification and increasing autonomy of vehicles, consolidation of ECUs within vehicles, more stringent safety and security requirements, automotive ecosystem players are looking to virtualization concepts in a number of ways to realize the vehicles of tomorrow. One way is with hardware virtualization; the ability of a device such... » read more

Shifting The Burden Of Tool Safety Compliance From Users To Vendors
By OneSpin Solutions - 05 Aug, 2020 - Comments: 0

Functional safety standards demand that this risk be assessed and adequately minimized through tool qualification and other processes. For engineering teams, this is a time-consuming task and, worryingly, one for which there are no mature solutions yet. Tool vendors may provide safety certificates or packages, in an attempt to support their customers with safety compliance. Strategies... » read more

Measurable Hardware Security With Mitre CWEs
By Tortuga Logic - 05 Aug, 2020 - Comments: 0

In this new white paper, you will learn how MITRE’s new hardware of Common Weakness Enumerations (CWE) can assist the development team in threat modeling and security validation. Here is a 5-steps CWE validation process to significantly save time, resources, and money on FPGA, ASIC, and SoC design. Click here to continue reading. » read more

EDA Forms The Basis For Designing Secure Systems
By Adam Cron - 03 Aug, 2020 - Comments: 0

By Adam Cron and Brandon Wang As Internet of Things (IoT) devices rapidly increase in popularity and deployment, security risks are arising at all levels. It could be at the usability level such as social engineering, pretexting, phishing; at the primitive level such as cryptanalysis; at the software level such as client-side scripting, code injection; and now even at the hardware level. Dur... » read more
