Cybersecurity has become an important consideration in the development of Internet of Things (IoT) chips. The growing popularity of IoT applications has caused related information security issues to emerge; electronic design automation (EDA) tool developers have proposed using security protection verification tools in the IC design phase to ensure the design of chip network security functions to reduce The risk of a hacker attack on a single-chip (SoC) networked system.
Walden C. Rhines, President and CEO of Mentor International, mentioned that the company is actively developing automotive design tools and embedded software, card-connected car business opportunities.
Walden C. Rhines, president and CEO of Mentor Graphics, said that targeting IoT application opportunities, chip vendors are aggressively developing SoCs with built-in multi-intelligence (IP), but each IP can become a hacker attack. Defects cause security concerns. Therefore, in addition to the key role of advanced process simulation (SimulaTIon) and simulation (EmulaTIon) model verification, future EDA tools will also help chip vendors to identify design weaknesses that are vulnerable to malicious attacks. Silicon-based Cybersecurity.
According to Rhines analysis, Silicon-based Cybersecurity must focus on EDA tools and start at three levels of design. The first is the chip-level cross-channel attack protection strategy, followed by the supply chain security management mechanism, and the third is the Trojans DetecTIon of the chip's internal logic unit, with layers of IP and logic. It is safe and prevents unverified and authorized chips from flowing into the market, allowing manufacturers to fully grasp design issues and ensure the safety of IoT applications.
Li Runhua, technical director of Mentor Asia International Asia Pacific, added that in the past, chip vendors mostly implemented security protection through firmware or software, while system factories preferred to use third-party embedded software directly. However, the traditional solution has only one software defense, which is more suitable for closure. If the control or single device networking application is put into the complex environment of the Internet of Things in the future, it will be full of loopholes; especially in the trend of expanding the introduction of open IP by SoC and microcontroller (MCU), the security problem may be from the beginning. Existence will make the backend software unpredictable.
Compared with embedded software suppliers, EDA tools manufacturers have experience in IC design supply chain cooperation, and can provide embedded operating systems and software support, which will achieve software and hardware security protection from beginning to end, and accelerate the formation of IoT applications. . Rhines revealed that the company is currently in full swing and is expected to release a complete IoT embedded software in 2015. In addition to assisting chip vendors and system operators in simulating and verifying the product's security capabilities, they can further analyze thermal effects. Parameters such as radio frequency (RF)/power noise, algorithm and mechanism design facilitate the closer integration of electronics and institutional design.
Rhines believes that when there are new design bottlenecks in the industry, it is often a growth opportunity for the EDA market; for example, connected cars, after the introduction of various networking, sensing and image processing solutions, the vehicle system must maintain high security and reliability. Degree and low power performance, so the OEM must use advanced simulation and simulation tools to optimize system design, and these new requirements can be met by EDA. As a result of the application of the tip of the iceberg, EDA manufacturers will find more stage in the IoT market such as home, industry, medical, energy and automotive.
