Beyond cryptography, what hardware-level vulnerabilities are a concern in SoCs?
Silicon security has traditionally focused on cryptography, including hardening crypto-accelerators and protecting key storage. In System-on-Chip (SoC) design, this approach is insufficient. An SoC integrates multiple components, such as cores, memory, and third-party IP blocks, onto a single die. This integration introduces hardware-level vulnerabilities that do not target the cryptographic algorithms themselves. Instead, these threats […]
