    RISC-V Microcontrollers | Homomorphic Encryption | VW’s Keyless Innovation

    EE Times editors discuss three major hardware and security developments: GigaDevice's launch of China's first general-purpose RISC-V microcontrollers, the commercial viability of homomorphic encryption for AI, and a new anti-theft system for cars using Ultra-Wideband (UWB). GigaDevice aims to replace ARM-based MCUs with pin-compatible RISC-V alternatives to bypass US export restrictions. Meanwhile, homomorphic encryption allows sensitive data to be processed in the cloud without decryption, enabling privacy-preserving AI training. Finally, NXP and Volkswagen demonstrate how UWB's precise range-finding capabilities can prevent relay theft of keyless entry systems.

    Exploring IoT and AI in the Public Sector | Intel's Steve Orrin | Internet of Things Podcast

    Steve Orrin, Federal CTO at Intel, discusses the convergence of IoT, AI, and edge computing in the public sector, highlighting how edge processing enables real-time decision-making for smart cities and defense logistics. He explains that while the government demands higher security and reliability standards for edge devices due to their physical exposure, these requirements are increasingly driving commercial innovation in sectors like energy and finance. Orrin advises public sector leaders to accelerate adoption by deploying 'Goldilocks' pilot projects that are impactful but not critical, leveraging commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) solutions to manage diverse IoT infrastructures.

    235. Arm’s Vince Jesaitis on How AI Is Moving from the Cloud to Your Pocket

    Vince Jesaitis, Head of Global Government Affairs at Arm, explains how AI is shifting from cloud-based inference to local edge processing on devices like smartphones, earbuds, and cars. He details Arm's strategy of providing efficient CPU building blocks that enable high performance-per-watt, addressing energy and water constraints in data centers while enhancing user privacy and security. Jesaitis also discusses the critical role of government relations, including workforce development initiatives, the US Chips Act, and navigating divergent global regulations like the EU AI Act and GDPR.

    Interview: NXP CEO Kurt Sievers | Cryptographers vs. Quantum Computers | The 8088

    NXP CEO Kurt Sievers discusses his strategy to focus on 'secure edge processing'—combining microcontrollers, security, and connectivity—to drive the next decade of semiconductor growth, while navigating the pandemic by protecting core R&D investments. Meanwhile, Rambus cryptographer Helena Hanchu explains how quantum computers threaten current asymmetric cryptography, detailing the NIST post-quantum cryptography standardization process and the industry's push for 'crypto agility' to swap algorithms before quantum machines become powerful enough to break existing keys. The episode also covers the historical significance of the Intel 8088 processor, which launched the IBM PC and established x86 dominance.
