Role of VLSI Design To Build Trusted And Secured IOT Devices- A Methodological Approach

Internet of Things is quite a old technology finding new spaces with almost exponential spread rates. This has opened up new avenues and integrative approaches across technologies. One classical pair which possess close association is Very Large-Scale Integration (VLS I) and Internet of Things (IoT). Internet of Things is interconnection of living and non living things with Internet as background. The two different perspective of proposed methodology to integrate VLSI and IoT is (i) configuring the entire application as a system on Chip and (ii) embedding the VLS I capability to each layer of the IoT application and the capability can be used as and when required. This proposed work identifies the gaps between the VLSI and IoT and enables the possibilities of bridging the goodness of both to enjoy the hybrid fruit of technology. One such possibility is security to amalgamate the IoT and VLSI technologies. The security can be handled efficiently and effectively by integrating the circuits of VLSI with the services of IoT. Security is demonstrated using finite state machine-based hardware lock to make use of the IoT service. The functionality as such can be efficiently scaled up based the sensitivity of the IoT application.
