Predictions For 2016: Tools and Flows
By Brian Bailey - 28 Jan, 2016 - Comments: 0

Seventeen companies sent in their predictions for this year with some of them sending predictions from several people. This is in addition to the CEO predictions that were recently published. That is a fine crop of views for the coming year, especially since they know that they will be held accountable for their views and this year, just like the last, they will have to answer for them. We beli... » read more

True Random Number Generators For Truly Secure Systems
By Synopsys - 13 Jan, 2016 - Comments: 0

Random numbers form the basis, or root, of most security systems. Yet the methods for generating random numbers vary widely in practice as well as efficacy. Over time, many popular randomization algorithms and circuit implementations have been shown to be provably flawed. The paper will examine current methods for generating random numbers based on various sources of entropy as well as their as... » read more

Reliability Adds Risk Over Time
By Ed Sperling - 07 Jan, 2016 - Comments: 1

Being able to connect devices to other devices has a long list of benefits, many of them related to the digitization of the analog or physical world. That includes all the benefits of being able to quantify, process and analyze information to to relay it in real time all over the globe. This is what's at the heart of the Internet of Things/Internet of Everything revolution. It's also at leas... » read more

A Closer Look At One-Time Programmable Embedded Memory
By Charlie Cheng - 07 Jan, 2016 - Comments: 1

Being the first month of the year, chip designers have probably reflected on 2015 and are thinking ahead to upcoming projects this year. They want to produce a product that reflects tomorrow’s needs for electronic devices that include low power, high performance and high security. Now, they’re thinking about embedded memory, a requirement for all electronic devices. It’s captured the atte... » read more

Scare Of The Month: The Breach At Juniper
By Ernest Worthman - 07 Jan, 2016 - Comments: 0

Details are sketchy, but it was definitely a back door hack of Juniper. That almost always points in the direction of an inside job. So far, no one quite knows how exactly the hack was accomplished. But what scares me is that, supposedly, this code has been in the system for three years already. Drilling down a bit, it turns out there was more than one back door. One of them allowed ... » read more

Securing Modern-day Devices With Embedded Virtualization And ARM TrustZone Technology
By Mentor, a Siemens Business - 07 Jan, 2016 - Comments: 0

When securing today’s modern devices, it’s not enough to know the type of device you want to secure. Equally important is the process used to develop that device. In this paper, we’ll take a closer look at security as it relates to protecting data, building security into a device, and securing SoCs in multicore architectures. ARM TrustZone technology, which provides a solution for carving... » read more

Interference In The Car
By Ernest Worthman - 07 Jan, 2016 - Comments: 0

Once again, a paradigm shift is upon us. Mobile connectivity has radically changed the automobile’s place in the world of connected everything. And that paradigm will shift even further once the IoE is in full bloom. As all of this unfolds and technology marches on, some see the connectivity of the automobile as being a better and more powerful alternative to the smartphone. It is touted a... » read more

Smarter Cities
By Ernest Worthman - 06 Jan, 2016 - Comments: 0

One of the benefits touted by IoE proponents is that smart cities will improve the quality of life and make cities more “livable.” The concept is appealing, and if it comes to pass as visionaries hope, the smart city of the future will be a virtual cornucopia of convenience and efficiency. Residents and vistors will never be lost with the proliferation of location technologies, which als... » read more
