NIST’s latest report, “Hardware Security Failure Scenarios: Potential Hardware Weaknesses” (NIST IR 8517), explores the hidden vulnerabilities in computer hardware, a domain often considered more secure than software. The report highlights how hardware flaws embedded in chip designs can lead to security risks that are difficult to fix post-production. The document outlines 98 failure scenarios, detailing various ways attackers can exploit hardware design and implementation weaknesses. Issues such as improper access control, faulty coding standards … More → The post NIST report on hardware security risks reveals 98 failure scenarios appeared first on Help Net Security.
