Microarchitecture Vulnerabilities: Uncovering The Root Cause Weaknesses
By Jason Oberg - 07 Mar, 2024 - Comments: 0

In early 2018, the tech industry was shocked by the discovery of hardware microarchitecture vulnerabilities that bypassed decades of work put into software and application security. Meltdown and Spectre exploited performance features in modern application processors to leak sensitive information about victim programs to an adversary. This leakage occurs through the hardware itself, meaning th... » read more

Complex Safety Mechanisms Require Interoperability And Automation For Validation And Metric Closure
By Siemens EDA - 06 Mar, 2024 - Comments: 0

The race to autonomous mobility among the automobile manufacturers is driving the evolution of the underlying semiconductors. As a result, semiconductor technologies are moving towards higher densities and lower operating voltages, and this migration is introducing increasing sensitivity to random hardware failures – the failures which occur unpredictably over a semiconductor’s lifetime. Mo... » read more

True Zero Trust Combats IC Manufacturing Security Challenges
By Michael Chang - 08 Feb, 2024 - Comments: 0

The semiconductor manufacturing industry is facing a host of unprecedented technology and security challenges. A common catchphrase these days is that “data is the new oil.” Data is everywhere, in everything we do, and there is both good and bad associated with this trend. Data everywhere creates new security issues that need to be addressed to protect the integrity of your information and ... » read more

Strategic Collaborations Enabling The Future of Automotive
By Adiel Bahrouch - 01 Feb, 2024 - Comments: 0

I just returned from CES last month, the world’s most influential tech and innovation event. With over 135K attendees from across the world, 4300 exhibitors, 250+ conference sessions, and 1000 speakers, CES 2024 was the place to explore emerging trends and disruptive innovations. As CES is the showcase for innovative technologies, it is no surprise that Artificial Intelligence (AI) had a s... » read more

Experts at the Table: Semiconductor Engineering sat down to discuss the impact of AI on semiconductor architectures, tools, and security, with Michael Kurniawan, business strategy manager at Accenture; Kaushal Vora, senior director and head of business acceleration and ecosystem at Renesas Electronics; Paul Karazuba, vice president of marketing at Expedera; and Chowdary Yanamadala, technology s... » read more

How To Stop Row Hammer Attacks
By Ed Sperling - 30 Jan, 2024 - Comments: 0

Row hammer is a well-publicized target for cyberattacks on DRAM, and there have been attempts to stop these attacks in DDR4 and DDR5, but with mixed results. The problem is that as density increases, distance decreases, making it more likely that flipped bit cell in one row can disturb a bit cell in another, and that bits flipped across an entire row can flip another row. Steven Woo, fellow and... » read more

Building A Comprehensive Multicloud Security Strategy: A Zero-Trust Approach
By Synopsys - 24 Jan, 2024 - Comments: 0

The traditional, perimeter-based security model is no longer sufficient in today’s dynamic, multicloud deployments. A zero-trust (ZT) security model, in which no user or system is inherently trusted, is becoming essential—it is a foundational capability that underpins security for multicloud strategies. The ZT security model operates on the principle of “Never trust. Always verify.” ... » read more

Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC): New Algorithms For A New Era
By Rambus - 10 Jan, 2024 - Comments: 0

Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC), also known as Quantum Safe Cryptography (QSC), refers to cryptographic algorithms designed to withstand attacks by quantum computers. Quantum computers will eventually become powerful enough to break public key-based cryptography, also known as asymmetric cryptography. Public key-based cryptography is used to protect everything from your online communications... » read more

Plugging Gaps In The IC Supply Chain
By Anne Meixner - 09 Jan, 2024 - Comments: 0

Multiple touch points in manufacturing and packaging are exposing gaps in the data used to track different components, making it difficult to identify the source of issues that can affect yield and reliability, and opening the door to counterfeit or sub-standard parts. This involves more than just assigning a simple identifying code to a chip. At different points in a device's lifecycle, new... » read more
