Electronics Everywhere, Everything Connected, Internet of Things (IoT), City of Things, Industry 4.0 all imply a distributed network of a large number of electronic devices that must be able to handle confidential, safety critical or other secured data in a reliable way. With 50 billion active devices by 2020 it is likely that security incidents will increase as well as the failure probability of the network. A high level of network availability throughout the envisaged operational lifetime is essential. Security and reliability of electronics is key for IoT. The relationship between both will be explored in this event.
We selected four speakers for you to highlight different security and reliability aspects.
Ulrich Seldeslachts, LSEC, will explain you how to implement security-thinking into electronics design as well as the importance of the supply of qualified components and reliable electronics.
The payment industry is characterized by a high level of security. With the rise of “always connected” devices, the need for the same type of protection is emerging in a lot of other industries. Peter Timmermans, ATOS Worldline, will present the attacks against which we have to protect a payment terminal, how this can be realized and what are the consequences of this type of precautions.
Obviously, electronic device failures are unwanted. Surprisingly, the unique features of certain IC transistor failure mechanisms can be exploited to create low cost, high security solutions. Thomas Kallstenius, imec, introduces you into the world of security embedding in Integrated Circuits.
Electronics reliability is the main theme in today’s cEDM activities. Geert Willems, imec, will explain why Physics-of-Failure based Design-for-Reliability is essential for the development of reliably operating secured electronics networks.

Press release 22/9/2016
Renewed imec confirms its role as the world’s leading research center for nanoelectronics and digital technology
Ghent and Leuven – 22 September 2016. Since yesterday, the merger between research centers imec and iMinds – announced on February 19 – has been completed. The deed of merger was officially signed in Brussels, in the presence of Flemish minister-president Geert Bourgeois and Flemish minister for work, the economy, innovation and sport Philippe Muyters. iMinds vzw thereby ceased to exist, but its activities are making a new start within imec, which is now stronger than ever as a unique high-tech research center for the digital economy.
No doubt you have heard about the merger of imec with the iMinds research organization. The extended imec combines the world class electronics hardware technology of imec with the state-of-the-art software expertise of iMinds and its well-established innovation services supporting regional industry.
1+1>3 on the innovation front, that is what the extended imec is aiming for. The combination of advanced hardware, the newest software techniques, data science, living labs to assess user experience and effective, low threshold innovation services creates a large potential to boost the innovative strength and the international competiveness of our industry, especially the manufacturing industry.
In this event we will provide a concise overview of the software and data science competences of imec. Responsibles from imec’s Innovation Services will present innovation tools as imec.icon, imec.livinglabs and software prototyping with practical realizations and examples in the domain of smart cities, smart energy, health care, mobility, logistics and industry 4.0.
Before diving into the new opportunities an overview of the cEDM activities will be presented.
After the presentations there is ample time for a visit to the booths and for networking. Snacks and drinks will be within reach.
