Project looks to create platform for trusted electronics
In order to use electronic devices securely and reliably, it is important to know where they were manufactured, how they operate and how they are constructed.
While there are a number of technical solutions for trusted electronics, there is still no consistent methodology for trustworthiness that adequately covers the entire value chain. One response, a new research project âVelektronikâ, which started in March 2021 and is led by the Fraunhofer IPMS, is working on trusted manufacturing processes of electronic devices.
âVelektronikâ, which is being funding by the Federal German government, aims to create a platform that provides secure value chains as an interface between research and industry. Over the next three years, the project partners from the Fraunhofer Society and the Leibniz Association, who together form the Research Fab Factory Microelectronics Germany (FMD), will work with edacentrum on solution concepts for trusted electronics encompassing all areas of electronics development and production.
