cEDM Event 2017

Security and Reliability of Electronics

Invitation: 

Public, Members, Partners

Info: 

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.
