STMicroelectronics Tech Talk: Securing Embedded Devices in our Connected World
As the world becomes increasingly connected, the security of embedded devices has become a critical concern. These devices, that are very common in critical infrastructures, such as power grids, transportation systems, and medical devices, are often designed with limited processing power and memory, making them vulnerable to cyber-attacks.
In this Tech Talk on April 15 with STMicroelectronics we will explore recent advancements in security for embedded devices, covering topics like post-quantum cryptography, side-channel attacks, the security of artificial intelligence and homomorphic encryption. Once quantum computers will have enough resources to break many of the encryption algorithms that are currently in use, there could be devastating consequences for the security of embedded devices and all the services we rely on by today.
Post-quantum cryptography uses mathematical problems that are believed to be difficult for quantum computers to solve, providing a more secure form of encryption. Side-channel attacks are a type of cyber-attack that target the physical characteristics of a device, such as its power consumption or electromagnetic emissions, rather than the algorithm or its software or hardware vulnerabilities. AI algorithms can be used to detect and respond to cyber-attacks in real-time, providing an additional layer of security. However, running AI algorithms on embedded devices can be challenging due to their limited processing power and memory. Lastly, homomorphic encryption allows data to be processed without being decrypted, which can help protect the privacy of sensitive information. During this tech talk we'll cover all these points to have an overview of some of the main challenges that this field is presenting us today.
About the Company
At ST there's over 50,000 creators and makers of semiconductor technologies. As integrated device manufacturer, they work with more than 200,000 customers and thousands of partners to design and build products, solutions, and ecosystems that address their challenges and opportunities, and the need to support a more sustainable world. They are committed to achieving the goal to become carbon neutral by 2027. Their technologies enable smarter mobility, more efficient power and energy management, and the wide-scale deployment of cloud-connected autonomous things, without neglecting a related focus on security aspects.
