The Revenge Of The Digital Twins
By Frank Schirrmeister - 27 Sep, 2018 - Comments: 0

How do we verify artificial intelligence? Even before “smart digital twins” get as advanced as shown in science fiction shows, making sure they are “on our side” and don’t “go rogue” will become a true verification problem. There are some immediate tasks the industry is working on—like functional safety and security—but new verification challenges loom on the horizon. As in pr... » read more

Tineola: Taking A Bite Out Of Enterprise Blockchain
By Synopsys - 26 Sep, 2018 - Comments: 0

Enterprise blockchain adoption reached a fever pitch in 2018, but the security community has been late to the game of securing these platforms against attacks. We wanted to bridge the gap between the widespread use of enterprise blockchain platforms and the limited knowledge we have about their security by exploring the leading enterprise platform, Hyperledger Fabric, from the perspective of a ... » read more

The Security Penalty
By Ed Sperling - 13 Sep, 2018 - Comments: 0

It's not clear if Meltdown, Spectre and Foreshadow caused actual security breaches, but they did prompt big processor vendors like Intel, Arm, AMD and IBM to fix these vulnerabilities before they were made public by Google's Project Zero. While all of this may make data center managers and consumers feel better in one respect, it has created a level of panic of a different sort. For decades,... » read more

Enabling Cheaper Design
By Brian Bailey - 13 Sep, 2018 - Comments: 1

While the EDA industry tends to focus on cutting edge designs, where design costs are a minor portion of the total cost of product, the electronics industry has a very long tail. The further along the tail you go, the more significant design costs become as a percent of total cost. Many of those designs are traditionally built using standard parts, such as microcontrollers, but as additional... » read more

Is Your AI SoC Secure?
By Dana Neustadter - 13 Sep, 2018 - Comments: 0

As artificial intelligence (AI) enters every application, from IoT to automotive, it is bringing new waves of innovation and business models, along with the need for high-grade security. Hackers try to exploit vulnerabilities at all levels of the system, from the system-on-chip (SoC) up. Therefore, security needs to be integral in the AI process. The protection of AI systems, their data, and th... » read more

Finding Security Holes In Hardware
By Ed Sperling - 06 Sep, 2018 - Comments: 0

At least three major security holes in processors were identified by Google's Project Zero over the past year, with more expected to roll out in coming months. Now the question is what to do about them. Since the beginning of the PC era, two requirements for hardware were backward compatibility and improvements in performance with each new version of processors. No one wants to replace their... » read more

The Rising Need for Satellite Security
By Rambus - 05 Sep, 2018 - Comments: 0

Satellites today contain highly complex embedded microelectronics systems complete with processing, data storage, and data receiving/transmitting capabilities. Further, they are controlled by ground stations, computers in data centers. They are therefore susceptible to threats prevalent in cloud computing architectures including insider threats, malicious downloads, etc. As such, satellite secu... » read more

‘Fuzzing’ A Virtual Prototype ECU To Improve Security
By Mentor, a Siemens Business - 05 Sep, 2018 - Comments: 0

Staying ahead in the arms race against hackers means constantly looking for novel ways to find and correct security flaws, including (and perhaps especially) when it comes to relatively low-level hardware. In this brief white paper we describe one such way — an automated fuzzing test of a virtual ECU to find and correct vulnerabilities during the upstream development process. To read more,... » read more

Cache Speculation Side-Channels
By Arm - 05 Sep, 2018 - Comments: 0

This whitepaper looks at the susceptibility of Arm implementations following research findings from security researchers, including Google and MIT, on new potential cache timing side-channels exploiting processor speculation. This paper also outlines possible mitigations that can be employed for software designed to run on existing Arm processors. To read more, click here. » read more

More Processing Everywhere
By Ed Sperling - 09 Aug, 2018 - Comments: 0

Simon Segars, CEO of Arm Holdings, sat down with Semiconductor Engineering to discuss security, power, the IoT, a big push at the edge, and the rise of 5G and China. What follows are excerpts of that conversation. SE: Are we making any progress in security? And even if Arm makes progress, does it matter, given there are so many things connected together? Segars: It feels like we’re maki... » read more
