Cryptography forms the foundation of many aspects of trusted computing. This article considers recent algorithms and cryptographic attacks, as well as some future directions for cryptography in deployed embedded systems.

These trends – performance and convergence – are two of the most significant factors influencing today’s COTS networking designs.

As aircraft embedded systems grow in complexity and the aviation industry embraces hybrid electric power, new methods of cooling are emerging to resolve thermal management and overheating challenges.

In a constantly evolving threat environment, where new attacks arrive virtually every day, system architects must design networks to be as secure as possible.

Paul Davis looks at the Commercial Solutions for Classified (CSfC) Program, the CSfC approval process and the benefits of being on the CSfC component list.

Tammy Carter talks about how employing strategies such as GPUDirect, PCIe Device Lending, and implementing SISCI API can help system integrators optimize ISR solutions.

Bringing the benefits of multicore processors to safety-critical systems is challenging. Read how Curtiss-Wright and Green Hills Software are up to the challenge.

If not properly protected by taking trusted computing measures, every system on an aircraft can create a potential vulnerability. Paul Hart talks about optimizing cyber security on today’s connected military and commercial aircraft.
