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.
Automotive Security: Meeting the Growing Challenges
Vehicle systems and the semiconductors used within them represent some of today’s most complex electronics. In the drive to autonomous vehicles, increasingly sophisticated electronic systems are being developed for powertrain and vehicle dynamics, advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS), vehicle-to-everything (V2E) connectivity, infotainment, and in-vehicle experience. In addition to achieving higher levels of performance, these systems must meet automotive functional safety requirements as specified by ISO 26262.
Automotive Security: Navigating the Intersection of Safety and Security
Vehicle systems and the semiconductors used within them are some of the most complex electronics seen today. Ensuring these systems are both functionally safe and secure from cyberattacks is mission critical. Join us for this presentation where Thierry Kouthon of Rambus, and Ann Keffer of Siemens EDA will discuss hardware solutions for securing automotive electronics and how functional safety tools from Siemens can help ensure these solutions meet the requirements of ISO 26262.
Memory Encryption Solutions for Protecting Data in Use
There are many challenges to achieving good “memory security,” especially in that the term “memory” could refer to on-chip SRAM, embedded non-volatile memory, or even off-chip memory (e.g., both DRAM or mass-storage non-volatile). We refer to data within non-executable NVM to be “data at rest,” while data within volatile memory like SRAM or DRAM to be “data in use.” In both domains, data within these memories is of interest to an adversary – it has either immediate value (e.g., passwords, secret keys, AI/ML datasets, etc.), or it can indirectly lead to exposure of those valuable assets. This presentation will focus on the key aspects of memory security for data-in-use applications: 1) data privacy, 2) data authenticity, and 3) data freshness, and how those security aspects weigh against critical performance metrics including latency and memory overhead.
