Securing SoC Platform Oriented Architectures with a hardware Root of Trust

While it has long been the purview of electronic product vendors to rise to the challenges of managing ever shortening product life cycles, a new trend is afoot that may turn the tables in favor of longer platform hardware life cycles.

As embedded programmable processor based features increase in power, increasingly sophisticated platform System on Chip (SoC) architectures, including configurable hardware, boot code, firmware, and system software now bring to systems the ability to modify basic hardware functions and features without redesigning the SoC from scratch [read more].
