Randomization for Safer, more Reliable and Secure, High-Performance Automotive Processors

Editor's note: This article presents a future computing platform for automotive systems, where randomization will be introduced in the nonfunctional behavior of certain hardware components. By doing so, besides ensuring the higher performance of the processors, it will enhance the security of the complex processors, provide time predictability via probabilistic analysis, and finally, enhance reliability against aging and voltage noise. -Mohammad Al Faruque, University of California, Irvine.
