Siemens SW Security throughout the semiconductor lifecycle

Today’s world relies heavily on electronics – so ensuring each chip’s authenticity and genealogy is crucial. Siemens’ Trusted Traceability initiative brings measurability to all data generated to verify the entire genealogy of a semiconductor is authentic. It is critical to establish trust between all data generators to ensure the as-made product matches the as-designed product. It is also essential to have zero-trust policies enforced by secure solutions that verify the product and terabytes of data generated throughout a semiconductor’s lifecycle are authentic. The safest approach is to design in security upfront directly into the semiconductor. Now a confluence of technologies such as high-performance cloud services, internet of things (IoT) devices, smart machines, and mobile devices has resulted in the emergence of trusted traceability software solutions.
