In today's digital world, the hardware security of electronic components is becoming increasingly crucial, particularly in safety-critical applications such as self-driving cars and service robots. Traceability and authentication of components is essential to ensure technological sovereignty.
A central aspect of hardware security is the development of digital identities for electronic components. These identities include authenticity features that specifically counteract manipulated products and minimize the risk of product piracy.
Innovative techniques, such as implementing „fingerprints“ in silicon chips, enable the creation of stable structures that are resistant to environmental variables. Additionally, methods are being researched to identify non-dedicated fingerprints on circuit boards.
These developments increase confidence in the integrity of electronic systems and help ensure functionality and security in various industries.
B. Driemeyer: In daily life, we will increasingly need to rely on electronic components that are used, for example, in self-driving cars or service robots. To use electronics safely and reliably, we must be able to take a sovereign position in global value chains. This includes understanding the functionality of the installed components as well as ensuring supply security ... [more]
H. Mandry: In the future, we will have to trust even more electronic components in our daily lives, such as those used in self-driving cars or service robots. To be able to use electronics safely and reliably, we need to take a sovereign position in the global value chains. This includes the traceability of the functionality of the installed components as well as the security of supply ... [more]
