Abstract

Cyberattacks are growing at an alarming rate, even as our dependence on cyberspace transactions increases. Our software security solutions may no longer be sufficient. It is time to rethink computer design from the foundations. Can hardware security be enlisted to improve cybersecurity? The author discusses two classes of hardware security: hardware-enhanced security architectures for improving software and system security, and secure hardware.
