Talk 1: Security Risks in the Software/Industry Supply Chain by Jessy Ayala
3D printers are a critical component in the industry supply chain, so it is important to secure 3D printer software and firmware. However, there are many open-source repositories that are related to 3D printing, meaning that anyone can contribute to a given project; in fact, even some proprietary software was forked from open-source repositories. In this session, we'll talk briefly about security risks of open-source development in the context of 3D printing.
Talk 2: Identifying Security Concerns in Intellectual Property (IP) By Kathy Hayashi
The Accellera SA-EDI standard provides a consistent way to manage and verify security assurance for IP integration. This supports a much-awaited security assurance pass into the chip design workflow, helping to identify any potential security concerns or weaknesses associated with hardware IP throughout the whole design. In this session we'll talk about IP Security Assurance and how standards are created.
