Hardware-Efficient Approach To Defend Against Fault Attacks


A technical paper titled "Fault Attacks on Access Control in Processors: Threat, Formal Analysis and Microarchitectural Mitigation" was published by researchers at University of Kaiserslautern-Landau. Abstract: "Process isolation is a key component of the security architecture in any hardware/software system. However, even when implemented correctly and comprehensively at the software (SW) le... » read more

Big Changes In Verification


Verification is undergoing fundamental change as chips become increasingly complex, heterogeneous, and integrated into larger systems. Tools, methodologies, and the mindset of verification engineers themselves are all shifting to adapt to these new designs, although with so many moving pieces this isn't always so easy to comprehend. Ferreting out bugs in a design now requires a multi-faceted... » read more
