Abstract: To protect against physical and side-channel attacks, circuit assemblies may mount a main processor opposite of a cryptographic processor such that traces between the two processors are hidden in a substrate. Another substrate defining a cavity may be mounted on the bottom of the substrate to enclose the cryptographic processor and prevent physical access without disrupting the cryptographic operations. Voltage converters with integrated inductors may also be included in the cavity to generate electromagnetic noise that will disrupt the sensitive equipment used in side-channel attacks. An electromagnetic shield may be sputtered on top of the main processor to block electromagnetic sniffing attacks while still allowing the processor to be coupled with a heat sink.

Abstract: A network architecture is disclosed for intrinsic cybersecurity of low-cost, low-complexity IoT devices such as single-task sensors and actuators. The IoT devices are configured in a star topology sub-network, in which a number of IoT “end devices” communicate exclusively with a single “hub device” that manages the sub-network. The hub device is also connected to a larger network such as a 5G or 6G network. Each end device makes a measurement or operates an actuator on instructions from the hub device, and transmits data results back to the hub device, which then transmits the results (or a summary thereof) up to the base station of the larger network. Thus the larger network is relieved of responsibility for routine managing of the end devices, since the hub device does that. Also the larger network is protected from cyberattacks by configuring each end device to boot and execute from ROM, and other features described herein.

Abstract: A quantum register can be read out using under-resolved emissions mapping (e.g., imaging). Regions of the quantum register are illuminated concurrently, one array site per region at a time, typically until all sites of each region have been illuminated. A photodetector system then detects for each region whether or not an EMR emission (e.g., due to fluorescence) has occurred in response to illumination of a respective site in that region. The result of the photo detections is a series of emissions maps, e.g., images. The number of emissions maps in the series corresponds to a number of sites per region, while the number of pixels in each image corresponds to a number of regions. A readout result can be based on a time-multiplexed combination of these emissions maps. The emissions maps are under-resolved since the resolution corresponds to the region size rather than the sizes of individual array sites.
