SUMMARY:ECE Graduate Seminar Lecture\, Speaker: Patrick Schaumont\, ECE Dep
 artment\, WPI
DESCRIPTION:Title:\nThe Case for Open-Source Silicon in Cryptography Resear
 ch\n\nAbstract:\nModern digital IC design heavily relies on design automat
 ion tools and technology libraries. Traditionally\, this technology has be
 en protected as an asset through licenses and non-disclosure agreements. H
 owever\, in the past few years\, a myriad of new options based on open-sou
 rce technology have become available\, which affected not only the design 
 automation tools and technology libraries\, but also the hardware designs 
 and design methodologies.\nIn this talk I will trace back the origin and r
 ise of open-source in IC design\, covering major successes as well as past
  setbacks and ongoing challenges. I will highlight the importance of open-
 source for the design and verification of cryptographic ICs and discuss th
 e potential of open-source technology as a platform for novel cryptographi
 c algorithms and test methodologies. I will conclude with practical pointe
 rs for those looking to build their own chip.\n\n\nImage\n  \n\n\n\nSpeake
