Hi TG,
Last Monday (11:57 am)
@butcherano posted on the Is this Akida? thread an item by Axiado about their Trusted Computer Unit which had all the hallmarks of BrainChip/Democritus University of Thrace cooperation.
Both the Axiado system and the Akida/DUTH systems model user behaviour to detect cyber attacks.
I'm hoping BrainChip bring it out on a USB stick.
A copy of my reply:
Hi butcherano,
Great sleuthing.
The similarities between the licensed IP and Akida's cybersecurity characteristics are remarkable:

Accelerator IP was licensed from a supplier"

Redefining firmware security
September 16, 2021 Derek Chamorro and Gopi Sirineni
A review of potentially unaddressed vectors inherent in current platforms and a look at a potential solution for preventing firmware attacks and elevating platform security based on a trusted control/compute unit security processor.
Redefining firmware security - Embedded.com
The TCU includes a secure AI technology featuring a dedicated neural network processor (NNP) subsystem designed to model the normal behavior of the device, and thus, to identify anomalies that might indicate the presence of an attack. This makes it possible to enact any necessary countermeasures to protect the system prior to attacks, including those not formally identified. Furthermore, the NNP has connections to various I/Os of the device, so it can model the normal behavior and identify anomalies of the server platform at large, expanding the TCU’s protective radius against hacking attempts.

Eliminating human security vulnerabilities
With the Akida Platform, cybersecurity systems can learn and analyze each pattern of your behavior from typical Internet activity to typing and scrolling speed. Any behavior which stands out from your standard pattern will be flagged and countermeasures will be deployed in real-time to ensure an optimal reaction to ongoing cyberattacks.
For organizations, this would mean eliminating the human aspect of security risk entirely as it would develop a behavior profile for each employee and prevent any malicious intent.
If it is Akida, how much of the IP is attributable to Democritus University of Thrace is another question.

BrainChip will license cybersecurity technology from the Democritus University of Thrace in Greece, and also get researchers support to port it to the Akida Development Environment

Hi
@Diogenese,
I just stumbled upon this announcement re the collaboration between VVDN and Axiado which may well be relevant to your 2022 post (above). And perhaps now even more so, given our partnership with VVDN?

AI-Driven hardware anchored Platform Security Solutions Set New Standard for Secure, Scalable OCP Compliant Data Center Infrastructure
SAN JOSE, Calif. and GURUGRAM, India, Oct. 9, 2024 /PRNewswire/ --
2024 OCP Global Summit –
Axiado Corporation, a leading AI-driven, hardware-anchored platform security solutions company, and
VVDN Technologies, a global provider of software, product engineering, electronics manufacturing services and solutions, today announced a collaboration to showcase AI-enhanced hardware cybersecurity solutions for Open Compute Project (OCP)-compliant data center and telco O-RAN servers at the 2024 OCP Global Summit October 15-17, 2024 in San Jose.
The partnership combines Axiado's Trusted Control/Compute Unit (TCU) with VVDN's expertise in designing and manufacturing OCP-compliant server architectures.
This joint effort aims to accelerate the adoption of AI-driven platform security and redefine energy-efficient, secure computing for next-generation data centers and telecom networks.
"Enterprises today demand immediate, scalable solutions that secure their AI-driven infrastructure from the ground up," said Gopi Sirineni, President and CEO of Axiado. "With Axiado's TCU technology seamlessly integrated into VVDN's OCP-compliant designs, we are redefining the future of cybersecurity for hyperscale AI-centric data centers.
This partnership enables organizations to implement AI-driven, hardware-anchored protection that not only combats advanced cyber threats in real time but also enhances energy efficiency and sustainability across their infrastructure."
Key Collaboration Highlights:
- OCP Global Summit Demonstration: Axiado and VVDN will demonstrate an OCP-compliant AI server powered by Axiado's AX3000 and AX2000 TCUs, providing an integrated security solution for data centers and telecom environments.
- AI-Powered Platform Security: Axiado's TCUs, with embedded AI and machine learning, provide real-time, pre-emptive threat detection, isolating and mitigating attacks at the hardware level, significantly enhancing zero-trust architecture.
- Dynamic Thermal Management: Axiado's TCU features Dynamic Thermal Management (DTM) technology, leveraging AI to optimize cooling efficiency, reduce CO2 emissions, and lower energy consumption by up to 11% in large-scale data center environments.
- Designing and Manufacturing Servers: VVDN is co-designing and manufacturing OCP-compliant AI servers using AMD EPYC™ CPUs and AMD Instinct™ accelerators that cater to the evolving needs of cloud, data center, and Open RAN applications, while addressing critical challenges in security and sustainability.
"The strength of our long-lasting partnership with Axiado begins at the hardware level and extends across our entire OCP-compliant server portfolio," said Puneet Agarwal, Co-Founder and CEO of VVDN Technologies. "Together, we are integrating Axiado's groundbreaking TCU technology with our state-of-the-art server designs to deliver AI-driven, hardware-anchored cybersecurity solutions that redefine platform security and efficiency. This partnership is a testament to our commitment to providing secure, scalable, and energy-efficient solutions for the cloud and telecom sectors."
Axiado's AX3000 and AX2000 TCUs represent a new category of forensic-enabled cybersecurity processors designed to enhance zero-trust models. The TCU integrates AI and machine learning into a single system-on-chip (SoC) to deliver pre-emptive threat detection, real-time protection, and energy efficiency. The TCU includes hardware anchored root-of-trust (RoT), baseboard management controller (BMC), trusted platform module (TPM), secure NIC, hardware security module, and firewall technologies, making it the most comprehensive cybersecurity solution for AI-driven data centers and 5G networks.
