Synopsis:
Digital computer technologies have penetrated to every facet of our lives through smart phones, implantable medical devices, banking, and smart power networks, to name a few. While we are amazed with unprecedented provided capabilities, they also present new threats to our personal and national economics, security, and health. Our visual media can be manipulated with Photoshop; our software and networks may be hacked; and the hardware hosting these capabilities is known to often be counterfeited and compromised. Trust is essential to our way of life; it allows us to work and live together. While what we are more familiar with is about software and internet security, this talk mainly focuses on the impact of globalization in the interested of economy on the hardware security of our computing devices. Whereas software security is on pace to become a $156 billion industry in the next five years, the challenges hardware presents are in many ways more extensive, more dangerous, and more difficult to combat.
