Talk Title:
What Makes a Proactive Hardware Security Program Successful?
Abstract:
Due to growing security concerns and real hardware vulnerabilities in the IoT, Automotive, Datacenter, and Aerospace/Defense markets, today’s defensive security stack must now include hardware to ensure secure electronic products. Many companies are tackling this by building a proactive security program as part of the hardware and semiconductor design process to detect weaknesses early in the design lifecycle.
This panel will discuss the importance of addressing these pre-silicon security weaknesses and share insights and best practices on building a security program to cover the entire development lifecycle from block to system level, including software.

Charles Guillemet is currently Ledger’s Chief Technology Officer since 2019. He priorly joined Ledger in 2017 as a Chief Security Officer, where he built the Ledger Security department (which has a catchy name the Donjon). He has been working for 15 years in the Cryptography & Hardware Security sector. A security guy at heart, Charles started his career at Tiempo, an innovative start-up in the Security industry, where he designed the security of EAL5+ secure integrated circuits. He then worked as Technical Manager in a french Information Technology Security Evaluation Facility (ITSEF) mostly involved in security evaluation for various security certification schemes such as Common Criteria (CC), EMVCo. His field of expertise comprises Cryptography, Side Channel Attacks, Formal Methodologies, secure software development. He was also among the pioneers in the use of Machine Learning for Side Channel Attacks research.As a speaker, Charles gives his insights in various security conferences as well as Blockchain events.
