Dr. Tirumale Ramesh has over 30 years of experience from USA in advanced secure computing, reconfigurable computing, embedded computing, and DARPA funded Microelectronics research in early 1980’s. He also supported US DoDfor cyber security and microelectronics security and trust. Prior to joining industries, he was a full professor of electrical & computer engineering at one of the major state university in Michigan. As a Corporate Fellow in advanced computing at Boeing, he led corporate research developing secure and intelligent computing fabric that has applications in wide computing paradigms.

He was a space scientist at ISRO from 1975-81 and developed spacecraft control electronics for India’s early satellite programs. He has numerous publications in IEEE international conferences and peer reviewed Boeing Technical Excellence Conferences. He has received numerous US and foreign patents. He is a Senior Member of IEEE and has served on numerous IEEE Computer Society boards including serving on its Industry Advisory Board. He has received numerous professional awards and nominations that include: IBM Design Center Award for outstanding worldwide ASIC systems solutions developmentand nomination to Presidential Innovation Fellow for Cyber-Physical Systems in 2013.

 

Title: Security and Trust- New Challenges to Computing Today in Cyberspace

Abstract: The Information Society we are in today becoming more and more pervasive that increasingly depend on complex information infrastructures requiring “intelligent” devices and services on a personalized basis. However, security is also becoming a major concern for these pervasive technologiesthat opens up new vulnerabilities for its users. For large system integration, system-on-chip hardware/software boundary vulnerabilities are emerging. In the past, hardware was mostly treated as an inherently trusted black box. “If its hardware, it must be secure,” was assumed. But that might be changing now. Hardware trust and security now play critical roles as computing is intimately integrated into many infrastructures that we depend on. Trusted hardware platforms now becoming backbone for deployment and operation of these infrastructures. Hardware and trust problem is now even down to chip level and spans a broad spectrum of topics, including: malicious insertion of integrated circuit (IC) Trojan, intellectual property (IP) and integrated circuit (IC) piracy, use of untrusted third-party IP cores as source of malicious hardware, and hardware attacks designed to extract encryption keys and IP from ICs. Research in cyber hardware in recent years is escalating to face the challenges of guaranteeing the trust and security of systems. This presentation provides an overview of the security and trust needed for computing today and provides presenter’s perception of how to face these challenges for future secure computing needs that includes hardware security and trust.
