Protecting Safety, Revenue and Brand: Combating Counterfeit Semiconductors in the Automotive Supply Chain
The counterfeit market for semiconductors is real, sizable and growing. Industry analysts peg the current market for fake semiconductors at $75B. Counterfeit chips pose great risk to driver comfort and safety, to say nothing of the severe negative consequences they present to automaker revenues and brand. The good news is there are immediate and cost-effective measures available to secure the semiconductor supply chain and stop counterfeiters in their tracks.
Combating Counterfeit Semiconductors in the Military Supply Chain
The counterfeit market for semiconductors is real, sizable and growing. The Senate Armed Services Committee found over 1,800 cases where counterfeit electronic components were introduced into U.S. military hardware including airplanes, helicopters and missiles. Counterfeit chips pose serious risk to military equipment and the service personnel who depend on that hardware to perform their mission.
CryptoManager Infrastructure for Semiconductor Manufacturing Data Brief

The CryptoManager Infrastructure is a high performance, secure transaction processing and data reporting system designed to securely manage provisioning, device personalization and high value key management throughout a semiconductor’s life cycle. As a critical part of the manufacturing and communications infrastructure, high availability, performance, and security are emphasized in all components of the CryptoManager Infrastructure. Security throughout the system is provided through the use of Hardware Security Modules (HSMs) in every node of the CryptoManager infrastructure. These FIPS 140-2 level 3 compliant HSMs provide tamper resistant secure storage and a secure computation environment for the necessary cryptographic computation and sensitive operations in the CryptoManager Infrastructure.
