A methodology to derive security specifications for complex electronic systems

Paper proposing a risk-based methodology to derive security specifications for complex electronic systems such as AI chips and chiplet-based designs. It walks from system missions to assets, threat analysis, security requirements and then countermeasure selection. The method is illustrated on datacenter and automotive chiplets for the missions of secure provisioning, trimming, debugging, booting and remote attestation, and addresses the longer supply chain and multi-tenant threats that chiplets introduce.

TL;DR Risk-based method (missions → assets → threats → requirements → countermeasures) applied to datacenter and automotive chiplet security: provisioning, debug, boot, attestation.
