The Hidden Costs Of Security
By Ed Sperling - 13 Apr, 2017 - Comments: 0

There is no argument these days among chipmakers that security needs to be implemented at every level. So why isn't it happening? The answer is more complex than companies pinching pennies, although that is certainly a factor for some chips. The reality, though, is security carries a price for every facet of semiconductor design—power, performance and area. And the impact reaches much furt... » read more

Electric Vehicles Set The Pace
By Gale Morrison - 13 Apr, 2017 - Comments: 0

Electric vehicles are leading the charge for innovation in automotive electronics. Companies that invested and embraced the challenge of EVs are besting their less-nimble, less-open-minded engineering cohorts. Semiconductors and embedded computers have been controlling the dashboard, mirrors, seats, heating and cooling for years. But with EVs, engineering teams are starting to tackle tas... » read more

Building Secure Software At Enterprise Scale
By Synopsys - 12 Apr, 2017 - Comments: 0

The cost of finding and remediating a software defect reduces dramatically the earlier it is found in the development life cycle. This is not new news. What is new news is an approach that builds security into the development process in a way that is easy for developers to adopt, without slowing down their workflow.

The Evolution Of Side-Channel Attacks
By Christopher Gori - 06 Apr, 2017 - Comments: 0

A side-channel attack can perhaps best be defined as any attack based on information gained from the physical implementation of a cryptosystem, rather than brute force or theoretical weaknesses in the algorithms. Put simply, all physical electronic systems routinely leak information about their internal process of computing via their power consumption or electromagnetic emanations. This mean... » read more

Data Leakage And The IIoT
By Ed Sperling - 22 Mar, 2017 - Comments: 1

The Internet of Things has raised concerns about people hacking into home networks or using armies of bots to disrupt communications. But with the Industrial IoT, the stakes are significantly higher—and the effects can last much longer. Security tops the list of concerns as more industrial equipment is connected to the Internet, according to numerous industry insiders. That hasn't stopped ... » read more

System Bits: March 21

Sensors vulnerable to sonic cyber attacks According to University of Michigan researchers, sound waves could be used to hack into critical sensors in a wide range of technologies including smartphones, automobiles, medical devices and IoT devices. New research calls into question the longstanding computer science tenet that software can automatically trust hardware sensors, which feed auton... » read more

Power, Performance And Electronic Surveillance
By Ed Sperling - 09 Mar, 2017 - Comments: 0

The disclosure that smart TVs can be used as for surveillance purposes is hardly a revelation. Makers of these devices have been advertising gesture recognition features for several years. Far from being evil, TV makers were responding to market research that showed voice inputs were a good way to boost sales in a saturated digital TV market. They added cameras so buyers could wave their han... » read more
