Building A Robust Hardware Security Program


Even mature chip development teams and processes aren’t immune to security errors. While many semiconductor and hardware manufacturing organizations have mature development processes, existing security testing practices, and formal signoff requirements, the complexity and duration of the chip lifecycle creates many opportunities for security issues to be overlooked. Semiconductors now play... » read more

Using Automotive IP For Easier Integration Of Safety Into SoCs


By Shivakumar Chonnad and Vladimir Litovtchenko Today’s SoCs for automotive safety-related systems integrate numerous IP blocks. At the system level, the Hardware Software Interface (HSI) between these IP blocks needs to be verified in simulation and validated in prototype. However, the scaling of the scope and effort to verify or validate is not linear based on the growing complexity of S... » read more
