"Microprocessor Designers Realize Security Must Be a Primary Concern"

The discovery of critical chip vulnerabilities known as Meltdown and Spectre has called for microprocessor designers to prioritize security. Security must be taken into consideration during the design of microprocessors as vulnerabilities contained by such hardware can lead to the exposure of passwords and other sensitive data. This article continues to discuss recently discovered chip flaws, the insecurity of modern microprocessor chips, the creation of innovative solutions to microprocessor problems, and the implementation of security into the design of microprocessors.
