Zero-Trust Hardware Architectures
Abstract
The more we rely on microelectronic computer systems and their silicon for essential day-to-day tasks and critical applications such as healthcare, national security and automobile transportation, the more important hardware security is. Supply chains for microelectronic components such as silicon require collaboration from many companies, countries and manufacturers across the globe. With the rise of cybersecurity threats and the combination of global tensions, the security and integrity of critical microelectronics are targeted with threats of counterfeit components or hardware trojans. One solution to this problem is applying zero-trust cybersecurity principles down to the silicon level of hardware architecture. This presentation will cover what zero-trust principles are in cybersecurity, applying zero-trust principles to hardware and, covering solutions to zero-trust architecture including, OpenTitan and SoC access control systems, as well as solutions to FPGA and IoT devices.
