A side-channel attack (SCA) is a security exploit that attempts to extract secrets from a chip or a system. This presentation will give an overview of some of the most common types of SCA and highlight the countermeasures that designers can implement to diminish risk in low-power IoT designs.
Securing MCUs with SCA Protection in IoT Designs
Cybersecurity: A Top Priority for the Automotive Industry
Automotive systems, and the semiconductors used within them, are some of the most complex electronics seen today. That complexity is set to dramatically rise as cars reach new levels of automation. This presentation will explore how designers can navigate the delicate balance between achieving new levels of performance and automation, while meeting the safety and security requirements unique to the automotive industry.
The Convergence of MACsec and IPsec in Data Center Silicon Designs
Data centers continue to adopt full line-rate security at various levels and use cases. Layer 2 (MACsec) and Layer 3 (IPsec) protocols are used to protect either full links or specific subnets or even customer-driven virtual networks. The integration of multiple security protocols is becoming an important requirement for data center silicon that aims to support multiple use cases. Join Maxim Demchenko to learn about the requirements for adding MACsec/IPsec into data center silicon designs.
Inline Memory Encryption to Enable Confidential Computing for Data Center Designs
There is a growing industry consensus on the imperative of incorporating memory encryption in computing architectures for protecting data in use. Designing and implementing a secure memory encryption system can be complex and comes with unique challenges from both the memory and security technology perspectives. Join Ajay Kapoor to learn how memory encryption can be used in your next data center design to enable confidential computing.
Securing the Semiconductor Supply Chain with Silicon Provisioning and Cloud Key Management
The semiconductor industry is the lifeblood of the digital economy. The design, manufacturing and consumption of chips is a global ecosystem, and competition is fierce as scaling and cost reductions based on Moore’s law are diminishing. Counterfeit and other unauthorized chips create real risks in areas of reliability, functionality, performance and safety. This presentation will discuss how semiconductor companies can protect their IP and business by securely provisioning silicon, and the means to provide the ecosystem-wide capabilities needed to verify the identity and provenance of semiconductor devices.
