Dr. Tirumale Ramesh
has over 30 years of experience from USA in advanced secure
computing, reconfigurable computing, embedded computing, and
DARPA funded Microelectronics research in early 1980’s. He
also supported US DoDfor cyber security and microelectronics
security and trust. Prior to joining industries, he was a
full professor of electrical & computer engineering at one
of the major state university in Michigan. As a Corporate

developing secure and intelligent computing fabric that has
applications in wide computing paradigms.
He was a space scientist
at ISRO from 1975-81 and developed spacecraft control electronics
for India’s early satellite programs. He has numerous publications
in IEEE international conferences and peer reviewed Boeing
Technical Excellence Conferences. He has received numerous
US and foreign patents. He is a Senior Member of IEEE and
has served on numerous IEEE Computer Society boards including
serving on its Industry Advisory Board. He has received numerous
professional awards and nominations that include: IBM Design
Center Award for outstanding worldwide ASIC systems solutions
developmentand nomination to Presidential Innovation Fellow
for Cyber-Physical Systems in 2013.

Title:
Security and Trust- New Challenges to Computing Today in Cyberspace
Abstract:
The Information Society we are in today becoming more and
more pervasive that increasingly depend on complex information
infrastructures requiring “intelligent” devices and services
on a personalized basis. However, security is also becoming
a major concern for these pervasive technologiesthat opens
up new vulnerabilities for its users. For large system integration,
system-on-chip hardware/software boundary vulnerabilities
are emerging. In the past, hardware was mostly treated as
an inherently trusted black box. “If its hardware, it must
be secure,” was assumed. But that might be changing now. Hardware
trust and security now play critical roles as computing is
intimately integrated into many infrastructures that we depend
on. Trusted hardware platforms now becoming backbone for deployment
and operation of these infrastructures. Hardware and trust
problem is now even down to chip level and spans a broad spectrum
of topics, including: malicious insertion of integrated circuit
(IC) Trojan, intellectual property (IP) and integrated circuit
(IC) piracy, use of untrusted third-party IP cores as source
of malicious hardware, and hardware attacks designed to extract
encryption keys and IP from ICs. Research in cyber hardware
in recent years is escalating to face the challenges of guaranteeing
the trust and security of systems. This presentation provides
an overview of the security and trust needed for computing
today and provides presenter’s perception of how to face these
challenges for future secure computing needs that includes
hardware security and trust.
