Safeguarding the Arm Ecosystem with PSA Certified PUF-based Crypto Coprocessor
Co-authors Lawrence Liu (劉持志) / Dr. Evans Yang (楊青松)/ Stephanie Smith Silicon-to-System Security For the past five years, Arm has reaffirmed its commitment to safeguarding its architecture with their Security Manifesto. It outlines a clear “call to arms” for the semiconductor industry to address the rising threats facing computing today. Software alone can only mitigate […]
Why Hardware Root of Trust Needs Anti-Tampering Design
Foreword As the development of AIoT advanced in more diversified applications, such as artificial intelligence, image recognition, intelligent sensing, or smart healthcare, endpoint devices are exposed to more information security risks than ever. The technology boom also brings more security needs, so ensuring that devices are secure and trusted is critical. All layers of the […]
PUFrt: Solving Chip Security’s Weakest Link
In the 19th century, Netherland’s cryptographer, Auguste Kerckhoff, created Kerckhoffs’s principle, stating that “A cryptosystem should be secure even if everything about the system, except the key, is public knowledge.”
PUFcc: An Essential Crypto Coprocessor for RISC-V
Foreword The number of connected IoT devices exceeded 46 billion in 2021 and is expected to reach a remarkable 125 billion by 2030. This will shift the semiconductor market significantly as each IoT device requires a processor core to effectively process the enormous amount of data and associated transactions. To make the most out of […]
