Topic: Transparency in Hardware Security: Challenges and Solutions
The number of publicly disclosed hardware vulnerabilities continues to grow YoY according to the National Vulnerability Database (NVD). Many hardware organizations often struggle to improve their security because the highly proprietary nature of semiconductor designs prevents an open dialog about security. This often leads to custom solutions being developed and common mistakes being introduced that can lead to security vulnerabilities, many of which are not disclosed publicly. This presentation will discuss some of these challenges and the open solutions available for the semiconductor industry to collectively understand how to build secure hardware.

Name: Dr. Rick O'Connor

Affiliation: OpenHW Group

Topic: Open-Source HW Commercial Adoption: Lessons Learned.
This talk will provide a brief overview of Open-Source HW activity across the industry, barriers to adoption of Open-Source HW and challenges associated with SoC design. Lessons learned related to the OpenHW Group Governance model and adoption of CORE-V Family of open source RISC-V cores will also be presented. The CORE-V family is an OpenHW Group project to develop, deploy, and execute pre-silicon functional verification and SoC based development kits of the CORE-V family of open-source RISC-V cores. Written in SystemVerilog, CORE-V open-source IP cores match the quality of IP offered by established commercial providers and are verified with state-of-the-art, auditable flows.
