The era of quantum computing is on its way as governments and private sectors have been taking steps to standardize quantum cryptography. With the advent of the new era, we are faced with new opportunities and challenges. This article will outline the potential impact of quantum computing and discuss strategies for preparing ourselves amid these anticipated changes.

It seems that almost weekly, the semiconductor industry’s all-encompassing barometer, Moore’s Law, is pronounced dead, dying, or actually healthier than ever. As the debate continues to speculate on its health, there is an unequivocal certainty that singular monolithic chip designs are simply becoming unsustainable as FinFET technology replaces a larger slice of the traditional 2D planar gate market.

By incorporating supportive crypto hardware, we arrive at a True PUF-based Crypto Coprocessor. The all-in-one integrated solution can take care of all required security functions throughout the product lifecycle. Such compact design can also maintain a security boundary for keeping sensitive information or assets intact. Finally, products and services become secure as protection from the hardware level extends all the way to OS and APPs.

The Set-top box (STB) market is, in many ways, the perfect case study of the challenges facing IoT security today. It is a mature market valued globally at $22.6B in 2020 (by Grand View Research) and appears unlikely to see significant upheaval over the coming years. Take a step back, however, and the picture becomes less predictable, as Hybrid cable boxes now support a much broader suite of functions. And with that, a new set of security challenges.

Edge AI computing has been a trending topic in recent years. The market was already valued at $9 billion in 2020, projected to surpass $60 billion by 2030 (Allied Market Research). Initially driven by computer vision systems (particularly for use in autonomous vehicles – no pun intended), the proliferation of other edge applications, such as advanced noise cancellation and spatial audio, has further accelerated the growth of the Edge AI computing market.

The rising security threats endangering our connected world, from the chip to the cloud, are among the biggest challenges facing us today. Microsoft recently addressed some of these concerns by mandating the inclusion of TPM 2.0 (Trusted Platform Module) in all devices running its latest Windows 11 operating system. It’s a significant step towards standardizing chip-level protection and recentering the semiconductor industry to make security integral to the chip-design process.

PUFsecurity, a subsidiary of eMemory, and provider of Physical Unclonable Function (PUF)-based security solutions, launched a new generation of its flagship product, PUFrt.
