Fundamentals of IP and SoC Security

This book is about security in embedded systems and it provides an authoritative reference to all aspects of security in system-on-chip (SoC) designs. The authors discuss issues ranging from security requirements in SoC designs, definition of architectures and design choices to enforce and validate security policies, and trade-offs and conflicts involving security, functionality, and debug requirements. Coverage also includes case studies from the “trenches” of current industrial practice in design, implementation, and validation of security-critical embedded systems.

• Provides an authoritative reference and summary of the current state-of-the-art in security for embedded systems, hardware IPs and SoC designs;
• Takes a "cross-cutting" view of security that interacts with different design and validation components such as architecture, implementation, verification, and debug, each enforcing unique trade-offs; 
• Includes high-level overview, detailed analysis on implementation, and relevant case studies on design/verification/debug issues related to IP/SoC security.

 

“This book surveys and compiles diverse research topics and advancements with the common theme of IP and SoC security and addresses the aforementioned contexts. … This book is intended for people with knowledge and experience of IP and SoC design flow.” (Computing Reviews, November, 2017)
