Hardware-Based Location Checks Target AI Chip Smuggling (Texas A&M)

Researchers at Texas A&M University published “5G CATS: 5G-Based Cryptographic Authorization Against Trafficking of Semiconductor Devices.” Abstract: “Enforcing export controls on AI accelerators requires verifying where a chip operates after deployment. Round-trip time measurements can bound a chip’s distance from a trusted landmark, but any jitter in honest replies forces the verifier to loosen its... » read more The post Hardware-Based Location Checks Target AI Chip Smuggling (Texas A&M) app…
