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
Development of automotive ICs requires substantial and meticulous effort to ensure their compliance with the ISO 26262 standard. The process involves end-to-end evaluation of a chip’s design, development, and traceability of the systematic and safety workflows through lifecycle management. Engineers must create a Failure
