Who’s Responsible For Security Breaches? | Experts at the Table, Part 2
By Brian Bailey, Semiconductor Engineering | Feat. David Landoll, Solutions Architect, OneSpin
How are we dealing with security threats, and what happens when it expands to a much wider network?
Semiconductor Engineering sat down to discuss industry attitudes towards safety and security with Dave Kelf, chief marketing officer for Breker Verification; Jacob Wiltgen, solutions architect for functional safety at Mentor, a Siemens Business; David Landoll, solutions architect for OneSpin Solutions; Dennis Ciplickas, vice president of characterization solutions at PDF Solutions; Andrew Dauman, vice president of engineering for Tortuga Logic; and Mike Bartley, CEO for TV&S. What follows are excerpts of that conversation.

Landoll: But when you are looking at hardware, there are a finite number of ways. Yes, it is a huge number, but it is finite. You can basically take the RTL, or the gate-level netlist, and you can extract all of the possible ways it can fault. You can analyze every one of them. From a software perspective, you can’t. But at least if you can get a handle on the hardware, then it reduces the chance.
