NYUAD in Potential Computer Chip Security Breakthrough

Researchers at New York University Abu Dhabi’s (NYUAD) Design for Excellence (Dfx) lab say they have developed ‘logic-locked’ computer chips that are secured by a secret key so that only authorised users may utilise them, making them immune to reverse-engineering. … The team at NYUAD has achieved a major breakthrough by implementing security at the lowest possible level, the hardware level, said NYUAD associate dean of engineering for academic affairs, associate professor of electrical and computer engineering, and head of Dfx Ozgur Sinanoglu.
