Secure at First Silicon: Reducing Cost and Risk

The article discusses the importance of integrating pre-silicon side-channel analysis into the standard verification process to reduce respins, support certification, and ensure silicon meets security requirements from the start. It highlights that security weaknesses related to side-channel leakage are often discovered too late in the chip lifecycle, leading to costly redesigns. The Inspector Pre-Silicon framework brings side-channel expertise into RTL and gate-level design, allowing engineers to identify and address leakage issues early in the design process. By incorporating pre-silicon side-channel analysis, teams can achieve a more secure first silicon with reduced risks and costs.
