Emulation’s Footprint Grows
By Brian Bailey - 27 Oct, 2016 - Comments: 0

It wasn't that many years ago that [getkc id="30" comment="emulation"] was an expensive tool available to only a few, but it has since become indispensable for a growing number of companies. One obvious reason is the growing size of designs and the inability of [getkc id="11" kc_name="simulation"] to keep up. But emulation also has been going through a number of transformations that have made i... » read more

Introduction to ARM Cortex-M23 And Cortex-M33 Processors With TrustZone For ARMv8-M
By Arm - 27 Oct, 2016 - Comments: 0

Given the rising demand for IoT, next generation ARM® Cortex-M processors have been designed with the technology required to become the security foundation for all embedded systems. The Cortex-M23 and Cortex-M33 processors maintain the expected characteristics of the embbeded profile such as real-time deterministic interrupt response, low power, low area, ease of development, and 32-bit perfor... » read more

Securing The IoT
By Jeff Dorsch - 26 Oct, 2016 - Comments: 1

Last week’s massive distributed denial-of-service attack, directed at Dyn DNS—a small New Hampshire-based company that operates part of the Internet’s Domain Name System—brought many popular websites to a crawl. Among those affected were such giants as Airbnb, Reddit, Twitter, Amazon and Netflix. The Internet outages spread from the East Coast of the United States to the rest of the ... » read more

IP Market: CPU Still The Largest But Security Leads In Growth
By Rich Wawrzyniak - 24 Oct, 2016 - Comments: 0

The 3rd Party Semiconductor Intellectual Property (SIP) market has seen great innovation in the products it offers to System-on-a-Chip (SoC) designers over the last ten years. If any market segment in the semiconductor industry typifies the intense evolutionary pressures that the entire electronics market has undergone, it is the 3rd Party SIP market. Most of these evolutionary forces are dr... » read more

#54DAC: A New Beginning
By Michael MacNamara - 17 Oct, 2016 - Comments: 0

I’ve been attending DAC as an exhibitor since 1992, and serving on the executive committee since 2012. I am thrilled to serve as General Chair for the 54th iteration of this grand conference. (And no it’s not too early to think about DAC. The call for contributions is open now.) Through the years I have seen some big industry changes, most driven by the increasingly powerful tools and autom... » read more

Side-Channel Attacks Make Devices Vulnerable
By Brian Bailey - 17 Oct, 2016 - Comments: 0

As the world begins to take security more seriously, it becomes evident that a device is only as secure as its weakest component. No device can be made secure by protecting against a single kind of attack. Hypervisors add a layer of separation between tasks making sure that one task cannot steal secrets from another. Protection of the JTAG port is necessary to prevent access underneath the h... » read more

DDoS Attacks Highlight Need For IoT Security
By Asaf Ashkenazi - 06 Oct, 2016 - Comments: 0

A massive wave of distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks executed against security researchers and hosting companies has captured headlines over the past few weeks. For example, OVH was targeted by two concurrent DDoS attacks at a combined bandwidth of almost 1 terabit per second, with one attack peaking at 799Gbps. According to reports, the attacks centered on Minecraft servers hosted... » read more

In An Election Year: OTP For IoT
By Lee Sun - 06 Oct, 2016 - Comments: 0

Borrowing from this year’s hottest topic –– the Presidential Election –– let’s nominate one-time programmable (OTP) embedded memory for the Internet of Things (IoT). It’s sure to be the winner for any number of reasons, but most likely it is because of its built-in security features. As a memory-on-chip technology, antifuse OTP is paving the way for IoT designers to come up with n... » read more
