Meet the Symposium Keynote Speaker - Dr. Shahin Tajik - The Role of Photons in Hardware Security
The EOS/ESD Association, Inc. is sponsoring the 42nd Annual Symposium on Electrical Overstress (EOS) and Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) effects and the IOT Robustness Workshop at the Peppermill Resort and Casino in Reno NV, September 13-18, 2020.
This years’ Symposium and Workshop are now offering both onsite and virtual components. One key change is that presenters who cannot attend in person will be offering their presentation virtually or in a pre-recorded session. ESD Association Operations Staff has revised the Symposium and IoT workshop guides to reflect the virtual attendance options. Please visit the EOS/ESD Association website at: https://www.esda.org/ For more information on all of the offerings for this years' event.
Dr. Shahin Tajik, Florida Institute for Cybersecurity (FICS) Research at the University of Florida
Dr. Shahin Tajik is a Research Assistant Professor at the Florida Institute for Cybersecurity (FICS) Research at the University of Florida. Before joining the University of Florida in 2018, Dr. Tajik was a postdoctoral fellow at the working group SECT, a collaboration of the Technical University of Ber-lin and Deutsche Telekom Innovation Laboratories in Germany. He received his Ph.D. degree in Electrical Engineering in 2017 from the Technical University of Berlin. His field of research includes optical attacks, side-channel analysis, Physically Unclonable Functions (PUFs), security evalua-tion of FPGAs, and providing tamper protection mechanisms against attacks conducted from the IC backside. His ACM CCS’17 paper with the title “On the Power of Optical Contactless Probing: Attacking Bitstream Encryption of FPGAs” was awarded the 1st place in Applied Research Com-petition of European Cyber Security Awareness Week (CSAW) in 2017.
A wide variety of deployed embedded devices in consumer, in-dustrial, and military applications is the target of reverse-engi-neering and Intellectual Property (IP) piracy. The main motiva-tion behind reverse-engineering is to get access to the stored secrets and employed IPs on the integrated circuits (ICs) to counterfeit and overbuild the target products.
In this Keynote, Dr. Tajik will assess the attack effort against commercial devices in real scenarios, where the adversary has no knowledge of underlying hardware implementation.
PLAN NOW TO ATTEND EITHER IN PERSON OR VIRTUALLY!!!!
