Silicon Lifecycle Management Infrastructure Pivots to Detect Security Breaches

Abstract

The potential to use embedded sensors and supporting infrastructure to detect hardware security attacks is a good use of existing device- and system-level information sources embedded in an SoC (system on chip). These integrated circuit package-level sensors and monitors have been available for sometime, but their application emphasis has usually been on performance, reliability, and safety. By coupling existing and novel sensor technology with in-system and cloud-based analytics, it is possible to detect and mitigate the efforts of hardware hackers as they try to apply their skills to uncover the secrets and capabilities stored inside today's advanced electronics. This paper will review sensors and supporting infrastructure and their capabilities to help detect and mitigate a security breach.
