LLM for SoC Security
Abstract:
As modern system-on-chip (SoC) designs grow increasingly complex, ensuring security throughout the silicon development lifecycle has become a critical yet challenging task. Traditional verification techniques often lack security awareness and remain time-consuming, costly, and prone to human error, necessitating a shift toward automation. This talk explores AI-driven security verification as a transformative approach, leveraging machine learning (ML) and generative AI to automate vulnerability detection, enhance formal verification, and strengthen threat modeling. By integrating AI into security workflows, engineers can significantly reduce development costs while improving the accuracy and efficiency of security validation.
The discussion will also explore the future outlook of AI-driven security solutions, offering practical strategies for engineers and practitioners to reinforce hardware security at various design and verification stages. Additionally, the talk will highlight open research challenges and opportunities for academics, paving the way for future advancements in AI-powered security verification.
