Shared IDE For PCIe Bifurcation: Scaling Security Without Scaling Complexity & Resources
By Vincent van der Leest - 06 Aug, 2026 - Comments: 0

PCIe is the primary high-speed interconnect used to connect processors with accelerators, memory devices, storage, and networking components. It provides a common and scalable foundation for moving large volumes of data between the compute and I/O resources that make up a modern system. As architectures add more powerful accelerators and higher-performance devices, PCIe continues to evolve to d... » read more

AI: Friend And Foe For Chip Security
By Ed Sperling - 06 Aug, 2026 - Comments: 1

Key Takeaways: AI has pushed security to the forefront, helping attackers find vulnerabilities in chips and the chip industry to defend against them. Security needs to extend throughout a chip's lifetime, but it's not clear how AI will age with a chip. AI pushes visibility outside a chip, which changes the dynamics for how to secure it. AI is making it both easier and more d... » read more

When USB Reaches The Root Of Trust
By Doug Carson - 06 Aug, 2026 - Comments: 0

Security researchers at Paradigm Shift have disclosed usbliter8, a BootROM exploit affecting Apple devices built around the A12, A13, S4, and S5 system-on-chips. The research demonstrates how a vulnerability originating in a third-party USB controller can be combined with system-level configuration weaknesses to achieve code execution at the earliest stage of the device boot process. Althou... » read more

Certified Automotive-Grade PUF IP: Unclonable Silicon Identity For Safety And Security
By Geert-Jan Schrijen - 06 Aug, 2026 - Comments: 0

By Geert-Jan Schrijen, Peter Simons, and Dana Neustadter Today's vehicles are quickly becoming intelligent Physical AI platforms. Capabilities such as advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS), autonomous driving, intelligent cabins, robotic mobility, EV power management, and vehicle-to-everything (V2X) communications now lean heavily on AI models to perceive, reason, and act in the physical... » read more

As Space Gets Connected, Security Gets Critical
By Liz Allan - 06 Aug, 2026 - Comments: 0

Key Takeaways: NASA’s lunar network will leverage Delay/Disruption Tolerant Networking to maintain signal integrity between rovers, astronauts, satellites, and more. 4G/5G LTE RF and optical inter-satellite links are both in play to transport data, but lasers are expected to gain market share as data rates reach 100 Gbps, owing to their lower vulnerability to eavesdropping and jamming... » read more

The Next Big Chip Failure May Be A Security One
By Ann Mutschler - 06 Aug, 2026 - Comments: 0

Key Takeaways:  Chip security must be designed in from the start, with clear requirements that connect architecture, verification, software, manufacturing, and field deployment. AI is expanding both the scale and accessibility of attacks, making hardware-level vulnerabilities harder to anticipate, patch, and contain. Regulations, customer expectations, and lifecycle risks are turnin... » read more

Securing The Software-Defined Vehicle Starts With Re-Architecting Trust
By Vincent van der Leest - 02 Jul, 2026 - Comments: 0

The automotive industry is being rebuilt around software. Architectures built on dozens of distributed ECUs are giving way to centralized and zonal compute platforms. Functions that once ran on dedicated hardware now share the same SoC. Software updates are no longer occasional events tied to recalls. They happen continuously, over the air, across the vehicle’s lifetime. This is what the s... » read more

Platform Firmware Resiliency: How To Protect Your Data Center From The Ground Up
By Nilesh Badodekar - 02 Jul, 2026 - Comments: 0

Data centers have become the foundation of modern digital infrastructure, but one of their most critical security layers remains dangerously exposed. Platform firmware, which controls everything from system initialization to hardware configuration, is increasingly targeted by sophisticated cyberattacks. A successful firmware compromise is difficult to detect, survives reboots, and can give atta... » read more

Securing Camera Data: Introducing The MIPI CSE 2.0 Security Solution
By Dana Neustadter - 02 Jul, 2026 - Comments: 0

By Dana Neustadter and Mehak Kalra High‑performance imaging has become a cornerstone of modern electronic systems. From mobile phones to advanced driver‑assistance systems (ADAS) and autonomous driving to robotics, extended reality (xR), medical devices, and industrial automation, cameras and imaging sensors are proliferating rapidly. These systems increasingly rely on MIPI Camera Serial... » read more

Securing Terabit Ethernet For AI: Where MACsec, IPsec, And UET TSS Each Fit (And Why You Need More Than One)
By Vincent van der Leest - 04 Jun, 2026 - Comments: 0

As AI and HPC systems scale, the network has become both a critical enabler of performance and a rapidly expanding attack surface. The shift from rack-scale compute to cluster- and data center-scale AI infrastructure means that data is no longer confined to a single chip, board, or even system. Instead, it moves continuously across hundreds, or thousands, of endpoints, often at aggregate bandwi... » read more
