Anupam Chattopadhyay Associate Professor Nanyang Technological University Singapore 10 (Asia and Pacific) Email 2022 2023 Talk(s): Vulnerability, Security and Privacy at the Edge of Computing Vulnerability, Security and Privacy at the Edge of Computing × The steady rise of intelligence and autonomy over a scale of distributed, connected and smart components is heralding the era of Internet-of-Intelligence. Without adequate safeguards in place, such components can lead to terrible consequences. In this talk, I will discuss three topics - namely, vulnerability, design for security and privacy of such edge–computing scenarios. The vulnerability aspect will be demonstrated through multiple attacks that we conducted, using practical case studies on edge devices. The design for security perspective will be discussed, first, through system-level security-by-design methodologies; second, through efficient lightweight cryptographic accelerator designs and design automation flows; third, through automation of attack/prevention techniques. Finally, the privacy perspective will be presented through an innovative tunable compression technique, realized on top of a video/image-processing platform. Electronic Design Automation for Emerging Technologies (Tutorial) Electronic Design Automation for Emerging Technologies (Tutorial) × The continued scaling of horizontal and vertical physical features of silicon-based complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) transistors, termed as “More Moore”, has a limited runway and would eventually be replaced with “Beyond CMOS” technologies. There has been a tremendous effort to follow Moore’s law but it is currently approaching atomistic and quantum mechanical physics boundaries. This has led to active research in other non-CMOS technologies such as memristive devices, carbon nanotube field-effect transistors, quantum computing, etc. Several of these technologies have been realized on practical devices with promising gains in yield, integration density, runtime performance, and energy efficiency. Their eventual adoption is largely reliant on the continued research of Electronic Design Automation (EDA) tools catering to these specific technologies. Indeed, some of these technologies present new challenges to the EDA research community, which are being addressed through a series of innovative tools and techniques. In this tutorial, we will particularly cover the two phases of EDA flow, logic synthesis, and technology mapping, for two types of emerging technologies, namely, in-memory computing and quantum computing.
