R&D project creates networking platform for trustworthy electronics
Within the framework of the research project “Velektronik”, a networking platform for trustworthy electronics is to be created for Germany, which will create secure value chains as an interface between research and companies. To this end, the cooperation partners from the Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft and Leibniz Association inthe Research Factory Microelectronics Germany (FMD)will work together with the R&D centreedacentrumover the next three years on solution concepts for trustworthy electronics in all areas of electronics development and production.
A future-oriented society depends on electronic components in all relevant technical application domains – whether in critical infrastructures, in Industry 4.0, in the automotive sector or even in medical devices. People must be able to rely on these in order to build trustworthy products, systems and infrastructure on them. “Technological sovereignty means that, against the backdrop of a strongly internationalised value creation, we retain sovereignty over which concrete properties the electronic components of our products have,” emphasises Johann Heyszl, head of the Hardware Security department at Fraunhofer AISEC and technical leader of the research project, adding: “This sustainably secures the innovation and competitiveness of German companies, especially SMEs.”
当他们符合所有能力的所有期望时，电子产品是值得信赖的，同时在攻击者和操纵方面没有开放的后门或漏洞。这是计划平台进入的地方。它将考虑到整个价值链，以便为值得信赖的电子产品提供具体的解决方案概念。为此，合作伙伴将专注于创造技术概述，为必要的标准化做出贡献，并建立研究和行业网络以及最终的知识。
在该项目中，Fraunhofer光子微系统（IPMS）研究所正在研究可靠的电子元件生产，所谓的“分型制造”。这是通过不同的铸造件处理和组装的芯片的方法。例如，可以从MEMS生产中拆下CMOS背板的结构。在值得信赖的电子设备方面，重要的是保护各个组件的IP，维护接口和功能，并在硬件和软件中提供安全功能。
The Velektronik platform is coordinated by the office of the Forschungsfabrik Mikroelektronik Deutschland. The overall coordination is carried out by theFraunhofer应用和综合安全研究所AISEC。该项目的结果随后可以在平台内使用，以获得进一步的研究项目，最重要的是，由行业。通过行业咨询委员会确保了直接实际相关性以及强大的工业相关性和接受性。
The project is funded by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF).
