5 Ways to Gain an Advantage over Cyber Attackers

5 Ways to Gain an Advantage over Cyber Attackers
by Matthew Rosenquist on 05-16-2018 at 12:00 pm

Asymmetric attacks, like those in cybersecurity, benefit the aggressor by maintaining the ‘combat initiative’. That is, they determine who is targeted, how, when, and where attacks occur. Defenders are largely relegated to preparing and responding to the attacker’s tempo and actions. This is a huge advantage.… Read More


ARM IoT Mbed Update

ARM IoT Mbed Update
by Bernard Murphy on 05-01-2018 at 7:00 am

Normally press release events with ARM tend to be somewhat arms-length – a canned pitch followed by limited time for Q&A. Through a still unexplained calendar glitch I missed a scheduled call for a recent announcement. To make up I had the pleasure of a 1-on-1 with Hima Mukkamala, GM of IoT cloud services at ARM. Hima is a heavy … Read More


Will the Rise of Digital Media Forgery be the End of Trust?

Will the Rise of Digital Media Forgery be the End of Trust?
by Matthew Rosenquist on 04-22-2018 at 12:00 pm

Technology is reaching a point where it can nearly create fake video and audio content in real-time from handheld devices like smartphones.

In the near future, you will be able to Facetime someone and have a real-time conversation with more than just bunny ears or some other cartoon overlay. Imagine appearing as a person of your Read More


Data Breach Laws 0-to-50 States in 16 Years

Data Breach Laws 0-to-50 States in 16 Years
by Matthew Rosenquist on 04-19-2018 at 12:00 pm

It has taken the U.S. 16 years to enact Data Breach laws in each state. California led the way, with the first, in 2002 to protect its citizens. Last in line was Alabama, which just signed their law in March 2018. There is no overarching consistent data breach law at the federal level. It is all handled independently by each state. This… Read More


FlexE at SoC IP Days with Open Silicon

FlexE at SoC IP Days with Open Silicon
by Daniel Nenni on 03-30-2018 at 12:00 pm

On Thursday April 5th the Design and Reuse SoC IP days continues in Santa Clara at the Hyatt Regency (my favorite hangout). SemiWiki is a co-sponsor and I am Chairman of the IP Security Track. More than 400 people have registered thus far and I expect a big turnout, if you look at the program you will see why. You should also know that registration… Read More


ARM and embedded SIM

ARM and embedded SIM
by Bernard Murphy on 03-06-2018 at 7:00 am

It seems that a hot ticket at Mobile World Congress this year was embedded SIM announcements. As a reminder of why this space is hot, cellular communication for provisioning and data uploads is a very real option for many IoT devices. In agricultural, smart energy and asset tracking applications for example, near-range options… Read More


Second Line of Defense for Cybersecurity: Blockchain

Second Line of Defense for Cybersecurity: Blockchain
by Ahmed Banafa on 03-04-2018 at 7:00 am

In the first part we covered AI as the first line of defense for cybersecurity, the goal was to keep the cyber-criminals at bay, but in case they managed to get-in and infiltrate the network we need to initiate the second line of defense; #Blockchain. With the fact that cybercrime and cyber security attacks hardly seem to be out of the… Read More

First Line of Defense for Cybersecurity: AI
by Ahmed Banafa on 02-25-2018 at 7:00 am

The year 2017 wasn’t a great year for cyber-security; we saw a large number of high-profile cyber attacks; including Uber, Deloitte, Equifax and the now infamous WannaCry ransomware attack, and 2018 started with a bang too with the hackingof Winter Olympics. The frightening truth about increasingly cyber-attacks is … Read More


A Development Lifecycle Approach to Security Verification

A Development Lifecycle Approach to Security Verification
by Bernard Murphy on 02-22-2018 at 7:00 am

We have become accustomed to the idea that safety expectations can’t be narrowed down to one thing you do in design. They pervade all aspects of design from overall process through analysis, redundancies in design, fault analytics and mitigation for faults and on-board monitors for reliability among other requirements and techniques.… Read More


Securing embedded SIMs

Securing embedded SIMs
by Bernard Murphy on 02-20-2018 at 6:00 am

If you have a phone, you probably know it has a SIM card, for most of us the anchor that ties us into a 2/3-year plan with one network provider, unless you have an unlocked phone. Even then, you have to mess around swapping SIM cards if you travel overseas. Wouldn’t it be nice if the SIM was embedded and could be switched though an app or an… Read More
