LTEC – Fides Sales

Fides Sales Silicon Valley’s Only Electronic Trust Technology Concierge Intellectual Property Protection and Trusted Foundry Support via Reverse Engineering JC Bouzigues Fides Sales LTEC Sales Representative in the US GSA IP Workgroup 1/21/2016 Fides Sales Silicon Valley’s Only Electronic Trust Technology Concierge • Companies build their value through huge investments in research and development, including IP cores and patents. – How can one be confident that these valuable assets are adequately protected? • As the IC supply chain becomes more and more delocalized and fragmented (wafer manufacturing, wafer sort, packaging, final test, product engineering, quality…) the risk of an IC being tampered with increases. In this talk, we will review the latest reverse engineering techniques and tools to ensure the protection of your patents and IP cores, and discuss how to discover any tampering that has been done to your IC. Fides Sales Agenda Silicon Valley’s Only Electronic Trust Technology Concierge • The problem statement – Patent and IP: a proactive portfolio management • Offensive, defensive, licensing and litigation – Trusted supply chain • Trojan Horse • Counterfeiting • Recent Patent Infringement cases • Supply chain and Trusted Foundry • Who is LTEC • How does LTEC support solving the problem statement – LTEC capabilities – New tools to support resolving the problem statement Fides Sales Silicon Valley’s Only Electronic Trust Technology Concierge Patent and IP: a proactive portfolio management Offensive, defensive, licensing and litigation Fides Sales Proactive Patent portfolio Silicon Valley’s Only Electronic Trust management Technology Concierge • IP Acquisition – Organic Development- New and Enhancements – IP Purchases, Licensing, etc. – IP Acquisition via M&A • IP Management – Portfolio Evaluation and Patent Analysis – Patent Ranking – Patent Maintenance – IP Intelligence – IP Defensive and Offensive Measures • IP Disposition – Abandon – Sell or License Fides Sales Recent acquisition Silicon Valley’s Only Electronic Trust and litigation headlines Technology Concierge Fides Sales Silicon Valley’s Only Electronic Trust Technology Concierge Trusted supply chain IP protection, Trojan Horse and Counterfeiting protection Fides Sales Electronics Supply Chain Silicon Valley’s Only Electronic Trust is Global Technology Concierge Global nature of supply chain makes chain-of-custody unworkable 8 Fides Sales Trusted Foundry as part of Silicon Valley’s Only Electronic Trust a trusted Supply Chain Technology Concierge • Source: Security Challenges and Requirements for Industrial Control Systems in the Semiconductor Manufacturing Sector • Malek Ben Salem, Accenture Technology Labs , NIST Workshop on Cyber-Security for Cyber-physical Devices ,April 23 rd , 2012 Fides Sales Counterfeit Chips and Systems Silicon Valley’s Only on the Rise Electronic Trust Technology Concierge • http://spectrum.ieee.org/computing/hardware/counterfeit-chips-on-the-rise Fides Sales Hardware Trojan Silicon Valley’s Only Electronic Trust Technology Concierge • A small change to an integrated circuit that can disturb chip operation. • With the right design, a clever attacker can alter a chip so that it – Fails at a crucial time – Or generates false signals. – Or the attacker can add a backdoor that can sniff out encryption keys or passwords or transmit internal chip data to the outside world. http://spectrum.ieee.org/semiconductors/design/stopping-hardware-trojans-in-their-tracks Fides Sales How a HTH Operates Silicon Valley’s Only Electronic Trust Technology Concierge • Source: A Survey of Hardware Trojan Taxonomy and Detection Mohammad Tehranipoor University of Connecticut Farinaz Koushanfar Rice University Fides Sales Many Opportunities Silicon Valley’s Only Electronic Trust for Malicious Insiders Technology Concierge • Source: Security Challenges and Requirements for Industrial Control Systems in the Semiconductor Manufacturing Sector • Malek Ben Salem, Accenture Technology Labs , NIST Workshop on Cyber-Security for Cyber-physical Devices ,April 23 rd , 2012 Fides Sales Government initiatives Silicon Valley’s Only Electronic Trust Technology Concierge http://www.iarpa.gov/images/files/programs/tic/08-TIC_final.pdf Fides Sales Silicon Valley’s Only Electronic Trust Technology Concierge Circuit extraction and Viewer For the analysis of • Circuit IP core reuse • Patent infringement • Hardware Trojan Horse 15 Fides Sales Features Silicon Valley’s Only Electronic Trust Technology Concierge • Extracts circuit block diagram from an actual IC – Down to 10nm • Allows easy viewing and navigation from Layout to extracted circuit block diagram • Used for – Circuit patent infringement – IP core infringement – Trojan analysis – Competitive analysis Fides Sales Analysis Flow Silicon Valley’s Only Electronic Trust Technology Concierge LTEC delivers circuit analysis reports (CAR) Tile array of stitched images (SEM images) Circuit schematic data base Software to view the images and the linked schematics The software is then used to View schematic hierarchies and images annotated to identify circuit components and connectivity Cross-reference objects between schematics and annotated images Highlight signals to determine their path and trace connected objects Export netlists and schematics in industry-standard formats Locate objects or a group of objects in the annotated images Locate annotated images in the hierarchical schematic 17 Fides Sales Cross-referencing Silicon Valley’s Only Electronic Trust Technology Concierge Taken images stitched = Layout structure Extracted circuit An object (or group of objects) in circuit view can be located in the layout Similarly, objects in layout can be located in the circuit view Of the views available in the schematic hierarchy, you can cross-reference to and from circuit views.
