Keynote 2 — “Reconfigurable Computing and Trust: Foundational technologies to enable trusted reconfigurable platforms”

Summary form only given. We will focus on foundational elements of Trust needed at the Silicon level for the future of all computing. As we move toward the Internet of things and the explosive growth of dependence on advanced computing for much of our existence, the enablement of Trust in these computing devices is becoming crucial. Particularly applied to reconfigurable computing, Trust is needed to avoid counterfeiting and IP theft, enhance supply chain management issues, and address a multitude of cryptographic foundational elements (namely key management). The emergence of Physically Unclonable Functions (PUFs) holds the promise of establishing a critical Trust element of identity. Without clear identity, it is almost impossible to establish Trust. This talk with give an overview of the state-of-the-art with regards to this emerging technology, as well as some ways in which it can effectively be applied to Reconfigurable Computing platforms.
