IoT Security – Part 1 of 3: IoT Security Architecture on the Device and Communication Layers
by Padraig Scully on 12-01-2016 at 4:00 pm

The massive scale of recent DDoS attacks on DYN’s servers that brought down many popular online services in the US, gives us just a glimpse of what is possible when attackers are able to leverage up to 150,000 unsecure IoT devices as malicious endpoints.

To address the growing fear and uncertainty out there surrounding the IoT security… Read More


Car Connectivity Lost

Creative Evolution and the Post Platform Era
When telephones first came into existence, all calls were routed through switchboards and had to be connected by a live operator. It was long ago forecast that if telephone traffic continued to grow in this way, soon everybody in the world would have to be a switchboard operator. Of course… Read More


OpenCL hits FPGA-based prototyping modules

OpenCL hits FPGA-based prototyping modules
by Don Dingee on 11-30-2016 at 4:00 pm

OpenCL brings algorithm development into a unified programming model regardless of the core, working across CPUs, GPUs, DSPs, and even FPGAs. Intel has been pushing OpenCL programming for some time, particularly at the high end with “Knights Landing” processors. Where other vendors are focused on straight-up C high-level … Read More


IOT – Think Big – Start Small – Scale Quickly

It is no secret that Uber drivers struggle to make a living driving for Uber. The most popular guidance for Uber drivers is to use the service to supplement existing income, not as a full-time job. But Uber is transforming transportation with billions of dollars of investment, billions of dollars in fares and billions of dollars … Read More


Expert Interview: Rajeev Madhavan

Expert Interview: Rajeev Madhavan
by Daniel Nenni on 11-29-2016 at 12:00 pm

This blog was originally posted on Paysa.com but since Rajeev Madhavan is one of our EDA Heroes I thought it was worth a re-post. In case you do not know Rajeev, he started his EDA career at Cadence then was co-founder and VP of Engineering at LogicVision (acquired by Mentor). Next he was Founder, President, and Chairman of Ambit Design… Read More


How to Secure a SoC while Keeping Area and Power Competitive?

How to Secure a SoC while Keeping Area and Power Competitive?
by Eric Esteve on 11-29-2016 at 7:00 am

I have attended LETI conference last June and remember the paper presented by Alain Merle, their security guru. Alain said that smart cards are secured because up to 50% of the Silicon area is dedicated to security. When you design a SoC to address applications like smart metering, NFC payment or embedded SIM, you know in advance … Read More


The New Reality for IoT Security

The New Reality for IoT Security
by Matthew Rosenquist on 11-28-2016 at 4:00 pm

Recent Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks are forcing a shift in Internet-of-Things (IoT) security thinking. The dangers are expanding as attackers are taking advantage of billions of IoT devices, conscripting them into their botnet armies for massive DDoS attacks.… Read More
