Presentation Title

Static Signoff and Hardware Security​

Abstract

The first part of the presentation covers How static sign off is driving left shift in design verification process -- primarily driven by a positive user experience.
Shift left is the earliest possible efficient verification of the design step and Static Verification Tools enable shift-left. The four enabling elements of user experience that drives shift-left are emphasized
1. Fast Tool Run Time
2. Multimode Efficiencies
3. Efficient Setup and Debug
4. Complete and Expanding Coverage.

The second part of the presentation covers the current industry challenge of Hardware Security. With Increasingly interconnected hardware devices, Data paths are prime targets for malicious attacks and a single hardware breach could compromise the entire network. We explore how Sentry Hardware Security Sign-off that is scalable and exhaustive can eliminate security vulnerabilities.
