catapult covercheck min

As SoC complexities continue to expand to billions of transistors, the quest for higher levels of design automation also rises. This has led to the adoption of High-Level Synthesis (HLS), using design languages such as C++ and SystemC, which is more productive than traditional RTL design entry methods. In the RTL approach there… Read More

Secure IC SemiWiki

In the late 1970s, cryptographic history saw the emergence of two seminal algorithms: McEliece and RSA. At that time, quantum threats were theoretical, and the selection criteria for cryptographic algorithms prioritized public key length and execution time, leading to RSA’s prominence while McEliece remained obscure… Read More

Webinar – CHERI Fine Grained Memory Protection to Prevent Cyber Attacks

Cyber attacks are top of mind for just about everyone these days. As massive AI data sets become more prevalent (and more valuable), data security is no longer “nice to have”. Rather, it becomes critical for continued online operation and success. The AI discussion is a double-edged sword as well. While AI enables many new and life-changing… Read More
