The Growing Imperative Of Hardware Security Assurance In IP And SoC Design
Deeper verification processes and tools are needed to support secure-by-design principles.
By Pavani Jella, Silicon Assurance
In an era where technology permeates every aspect of our lives, the semiconductor industry serves as the backbone of innovation. From IoT devices to data centers, every piece of technology relies on integrated circuits (ICs) such as intellectual property (IP) cores and system on chips (SoCs). As these technologies become increasingly pervasive, the importance of hardware security assurance in the design and development of IP and SoCs cannot be overstated. Evolving cyber threats and sophisticated attacks make it essential for vendors to integrate advanced security measures into their workflows.
Market pressures driving demand for enhanced hardware security
The semiconductor market is projected to reach $1 trillion by 2030. At the same time, semiconductor devices and system designs are becoming increasingly complex. With that complexity comes the added difficulty and effort required to conduct thorough security analyses. Additionally, competitive pressure to reduce time-to-market means that vulnerabilities can be more easily overlooked or exploited, making it crucial for the industry to adopt automated security solutions. As more products are deployed in critical systems, from consumer electronics to national infrastructure, the stakes become even higher, underscoring the necessity for robust security measures.
