Abstract:

Designing secure hardware that stays secure is hard. Designing it to fit well into modern high volume semiconductor manufacturing flows is harder. Integrated microelectronics is at the pinnacle of manufacturing technology. That technology has been perfected to produce billions of identical copies of the same product, with high reliability and low cost. This is done in a global environment in which state-of-the-art suppliers may mot always be completely trusted. What is hard in this environment is establishing and maintaining trust between the manufacturing components and the integrated circuits as devices are individualized, provisioned and certified. This webinar will delve into some of the issues that arise and some solutions.

Intended Learning Outcomes:

Participants in this webinar should gain an understanding of some of the challenges and solution approaches to developing secure IC products for volume manufacturing.

Intended audience:

Practicing design engineers and design managers, graduate and senior undergraduate students of hardware security and integrated circuit design are the intended audience for this presentation.
