Caspia Technologies at the 2025 Design Automation Conference #62DAC

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 flows is challenging. Security experts are needed, and there just aren’t enough people with the requisite skills to make an impact.

Caspia is changing this by combining massive data about weaknesses and vulnerabilities with unique GenAI technology to deliver expert security verification to all teams and all design flows. You can learn more about Caspia’s ground-breaking approach to security verification at several events during DAC.

Sunday Workshop

Two of Caspia’s founders, Dr. Mark Tehranipoor and Dr. Farimah Farahmand, along with Dr. Hadi Mardani Kamali will host the Third AI/CAD for Hardware Security Workshop at DAC on Sunday, June 22, from 9:00am – 5:00pm in room 3001 on level 3 of Moscone West.

Building on the success of the first and second CAD for Security Workshops, this third workshop aims to embrace the transformative intersection of AI, CAD, and hardware security. The goal is to drive innovation at the intersection of AI-driven solutions and hardware design security.

Tuesday SKYTalk

Dr. Mark Tehranipoor, co-founder of Caspia Technologies will present an inspirational SKYTalk in the DAC Pavillion (second floor of Moscone West) on Tuesday, June 24 from 1:00 – 1:45pm entitled Opening a New Innovation Frontier with Large Language Models for SoC Security.

As complex SoCs become prevalent in virtually all systems, these devices also present a primary attack surface. The risks of cyberattacks are real, and AI is making them more sophisticated. As we also deploy AI into the SoC design process, it is imperative that secure design practices are incorporated as well.

Existing security solutions are inadequate to provide effective verification of complex SoC designs due to their limitations in scalability, comprehensiveness, and adaptability. Large Language Models (LLMs) are celebrated for their remarkable success in natural language understanding, advanced reasoning, and program synthesis tasks.

Recognizing this opportunity, Dr. Tehranipoor proposes leveraging the emergent capabilities of Generative Pre-trained Transformers (GPTs) to address the existing gaps in SoC security, aiming for a more efficient, scalable, and adaptable methodology. In this presentation he will offer an in-depth analysis of existing work, showcasing achievements, prospects, and challenges of employing LLMs in SoC security design and verification tasks

Meet with Caspia Executives and Technologists

Caspia will have senior architects and executives on hand to provide demos and discuss Caspia’s GenAI security capabilities at the InterContinental Hotel on June 23 and 24. On Monday, June 23 at 4:30 you can also meet with the company’s Chairman of the Board, Dr. Wally Rhines during a special happy hour event.

If you’re interested in reserving a spot for a discussion/demo or to attend the happy hour, drop a note to Caroline McCarthy at cmccarthy@caspiatechnologies.com. Please mention you saw the invitation on SemiWiki.
