TRNG for Automotive achieves ISO 26262 and ISO/SAE 21434 compliance
The security of a device or system depends mainly on being unable to infer or guess an alphanumeric code needed to gain access to it or its data, be that a password or an encryption key. In automotive applications, the security requirement goes one step further – an attacker may not gain access per se, but if they can compromise vehicle… Read More
Is Arteris Poised to Enable Next Generation System Design?
The semiconductor ecosystem is changing. Monolithic design is becoming multi-die design. Processors no longer inform software development options. It’s now the other way around with complex AI software informing the design of purpose-built hardware. And all that special-purpose hardware needs drivers to make it come to … Read More
