A New Approach to Measure Hardware Security Coverage

Presented By: Dr. Jason Oberg, Tortuga Logic

Short Summary:

There has been an exponential increase in hardware vulnerabilities across the commercial market spanning IoT, Datacenter infrastructure, and Automotive. The Aerospace/Defense industry is continuing to recognize the increasing importance of building microelectronics with the highest levels of trust and assurance and is making significant investments to advance this mission. An important part of this mission is to provide effective mechanisms to quantify the effectiveness of security approaches and assess whether designs are resilient against known weaknesses. This presentation will describe important industry initiatives supported by MITRE that can be effectively leveraged for measuring security coverage against common hardware weaknesses. Additionally, it will discuss innovative technical solutions that allow commercial and defense industrial base companies to measure their security coverage against these common hardware weaknesses.
