Austin, Texas, February 25, 2020-Sawblade Ventures, LLC (SbV) is pleased to announce a newly
signed research agreement with Northern Arizona University (NAU).
The teams will study how hardware cybersecurity schemes can be integrated in a suite of
electronic design tools for advanced enablement of the latest security techniques with the ease
of use of an electronic design automation environment.
The teams will focus on,
1) Improving existing EDA tools from Sawblade to work with NAU’s superior PUF (Physically
Unclonable Function) technology.
2) The merging of our blockchain strategies to enable sufficient security for the varied
markets where it is being developed.
3) Improving password management using NAU’s techniques with Sawblade’s
“Reconfigurable Fabric”.
The growing world of data communication has been hurt by increasing malicious attacks.
Sawblade and NAU are committed to improving hardware security integrated into electronic
systems.
“Hardware solutions operating at speed and are embedded, flexible and distributed into circuits
are what is needed to fill the gap left by software and hardware solutions of the past” said Scott
Winning, President and CEO of Sawblade Ventures, LLC. “This is what we offer today, however
with this agreement, we will build onto this, a forward-looking roadmap becoming increasing
impossible to penetrate our customer’s applications.”
“Complex hardware security solutions have been proven by our team at NAU. We continue to
improve this roadmap and the need is to move fast to stay ahead of the curve. Our mission is
to expose our students to alternative technologies to participate and improve security for the
future” commented Dr. Bertrand Cambou, Professor of Practice, Nanotechnology, &
Cybersecurity School of Informatics, Computing, and Cyber Systems at Northern Arizona
University.
