Securing Ubiquitous Devices with Lightweight Circuit Primitives

Presenter:
Prof. Kaiyuan Yang, Rice University

Abstract:Security and privacy are critical challenges to overcome for ubiquitous electronics, including IoT and wearable/implantable devices. Securing these systems faces not only new challenges at system and network levels due to a vast variance of applications, system constructions, and attack surfaces, but also severe hardware resource constraints on computation resources, power consumption, and device cost. To tackle these challenges, significant research efforts have been pursuing specialized hardware-enabled security primitives that could help build a reliable, trustful, and energy-efficient foundation for system security. This tutorial will give an overview of the problems and focus on three hardware security challenges that could be dealt with through novel circuit designs, namely entropy generation, countermeasures against side-channel and fault-injection attacks, and lightweight computing for security. I will review state-of-the-art circuit-enabled security primitives, including our recent work towards all-digital, fully synthesizable, and compact circuit techniques that enable agile SoC development and technology portability. Novel circuit principles that cross the boundary of traditional digital and analog designs have led to significant improvements in the performance and overheads of these security primitives.

Abstract: Emergence of artificial intelligence and machine learning, specifically recent developments on large language models, along with trends in internet of things and big data is driving new wave of growth in semiconductors. Heterogeneous integration (HI) is a powerful and key enabler to meet the demands of continued growth of computing and communication performance. Heterogeneous integration involves the integration of separately manufactured components with different functions into a higher-level assembly that, in aggregate, provides enhanced functionality and improved operating characteristics. System level co-design and optimization will be key to achieve the best performance where packaging plays a key role. This tutorial will provide a brief evolution of packaging technologies, and focus on advanced packaging architectures for HI. Key features in 2D and 3D interconnects will be presented along with novel packaging materials (e.g. glass) as well as co-packaged optics using silicon photonics. Furthermore in this tutorial, power-delivery and thermal considerations in advanced packaging will be discussed from a system design perspective.
