Keynote #1: Enforcing security in the supply chain of chiplets through transparency

Sylvain Guilley Cadence Design Systems and Telecom Paris, France

Abstract: In an open market, a massive amount of chiplets will arise from various provenances. How to ascertain that they are genuine? How to ensure that they won’t be counterfeited? In this presentation, I will advocate that ecosystem coordination is required. Trust in the chiplets model requires that IP can be traced. Hence, the need for an industry-level transparency in the sourcing. For such a vision to become concrete, chiplets shall be considered as roots of trust. Concrete solutions will be put forward, building on open standards.
