Session 27 Overview: IoT & Security: Digital Architectures and Systems Subcommittee
2020
Pervasive IoT applications demand increasingly efficient and secure circuits and systems. The first paper is a 65nm battery-less sub-threshold microcontroller integrated into a commercial machine health-monitoring sensor node. The second paper is another 65nm sub-threshold microcontroller, this time with SIMD support and wide-range DVFS. The third and fourth papers focus on two aspects of hardware security: 1) attack resistance, and 2) key generation. The third paper offers new approaches which make EM and power attacks significantly more difficult. The fourth paper tailors a Physically Unclonable Function for low-error-rate key generation satisfying automotive reliability requirements.
