Microelectronics are key components in our defense systems, and assuring that they are trusted is critical for US national security. Today the United States spends billions of dollars on software in cybersecurity but very little to secure the hardware our systems depend on. With the sale of IBM Microelectronics to GlobalFoundries, long-term US government access to Trusted State-of-the-Art microelectronics remains uncertain. To successfully meet current and future operational needs, the USG must invest in alternative fabrication solutions that solve both trust and access issues, and can be implemented in the near-term. Secure and assured microelectronics are essential to our national security systems, and a solution that ensures long-term viability is needed. This seminar will review the importance of hardware security and discuss current efforts to ensure US government access to Trusted State-of-the-Art microelectronics for the future.
