In today’s interconnected world, where smart devices and embedded systems are everywhere, security goes beyond just software and networks. Physical attacks have emerged as a growing concern, especially when it comes to protecting hardware. This article explores the realm of physical attacks, their methods, categories, and the countermeasures you can adopt to strengthen your devices’ […]
Chip manufacturing has become an increasingly complex and costly process. Today, most design companies operate under a fabless model, focusing on innovation and outsourcing production to specialized foundries. While economically advantageous, this approach exposes designs to significant risks, such as unauthorized reproduction—commonly known as overbuilding. Fortunately, advanced integrated circuit metering, or hardware metering, offers a
In today’s digital age, protecting intellectual property (IP) is more crucial than ever. While techniques like digital watermarking – which we’ve discussed in another blog article – are effective in proving the authorship of an IP, they alone cannot distinguish among the various users who hold copies of the same project. This is where digital
Protecting intellectual property (IP) is an increasingly important topic in a world where digital innovation and creation are constantly evolving. With the rise of piracy and the ease of illegally reproducing content and designs, new techniques have emerged to secure the rights of creators. Among these, digital watermarking stands out as an effective strategy to
In today’s highly competitive and ever-evolving technological landscape, protecting ideas and innovations in hardware design has become essential. Intellectual properties in hardware design represent not only the technological advances that make products more efficient and powerful but also serve as valuable assets that can be safeguarded through specific security techniques. In this article, we explore
In the world of hardware and software development, knowing the different phases of the process is essential to ensure that the final product meets quality and performance standards. Among these phases, the terms bring up and DVT (Design Validation Testing) stand out as key moments that often cause confusion. In this article, we’ll explore what
In the world of digital security, when it comes to hardware, skepticism is more than justified. Whether it’s a smartphone, laptop, or even a simple embedded system, one should never blindly trust the device they receive. In this article, we explore the vulnerabilities present in microchip design and supply chains, highlighting the critical points and
