It is well-known that AI is everywhere, and the incredible power of this new technology is enabled by highly complex, purpose-built silicon. But there is a silent enemy of this substantial, world-changing progress. Something that has the power to steal a bright future from all of us. The hardware root of trust for those advanced… Read More
Hardware-level chip security has become an important topic across the semiconductor ecosystem. Thanks to sophisticated AI-fueled attacks, the hardware root of trust and its firmware are now vulnerable. And unlike software security, an instantiated weakness cannot be patched. The implications of such vulnerabilities are… Read More
On July 18, 2025, Mark Tehranipoor, chairman of the Electrical and Computer Engineering Department at the University of Florida and co-founder of Caspia Technologies, delivered a compelling talk at DACtv on leveraging large language models (LLMs) for System-on-Chip (SoC) security, as seen in the YouTube video. Addressing… Read More
As expected, security was a big topic at DAC this year. The growth of AI has demanded complex, purpose-built semiconductors to run ever-increasing workloads. AI has helped to design those complex chips more efficiently and with less power demands. There was a lot of discussion on these topics. But there is another part of this trend.… Read More
Security will be an important topic at DAC this year. The hardware root of trust is the foundation of all security for complex systems implementing AI workloads. Thanks to new and sophisticated techniques the hardware root of trust is now vulnerable and must be protected. But adding deep security verification to existing design… Read More
