Qualcomm CEO Cristiano Amon talks w/ WSJ’s Joanna Stern at Mobile World Congress, Feb 2023 Qualcomm 2023-05-08 | Qualcomm President and CEO Cristiano Amon speaks with Wall Street Journal columnist Joanna Stern. The conversation begins with a discussion of the benefits of the transition from 4G to 5G, and the inevitability of technologies like 5G mmWave. Amon says that 5G mmWave will become ubiquitous soon, much like Wi-Fi is today. Amon and Stern then transition to a discussion about contraction in the smartphone market. Rather than representing a new normal, Amon explains that there are three challenges facing the smartphone market: macro headwinds, inventory surpluses, and supply chain shortages. Consumers aren’t as willing to spend money on new smartphones in the short-term — spending their money on other digital devices instead of on handset upgrades — and manufacturers are sitting on a glut of product. Amon does believe that the market is experiencing a correction and should normalize by June 2023. The conversation shifts to AI, specifically Qualcomm’s high performance on-device demo of Stable Diffusion — a generative AI model that creates images based on text inputs — and the huge opportunity it represents for Qualcomm. Amon explains that Qualcomm’s vision for the Connected Intelligent Edge is happening in real-time as the increased performance of power-efficient edge devices enables them to run advanced applications like large AI models — something that seemed impossible a few years ago. Amon and Stern also discuss an extremely successful part of Qualcomm’s diversification plan: automotive. Qualcomm’s automotive business has grown 58 percent in the past year, despite challenging macro headwinds. As cars become increasingly connected to the cloud, Qualcomm auto tech delivered by the Snapdragon Digital Chassis has become industry standard. Rounding out the conversation, Amon and Stern discuss the many ways that Qualcomm is disrupting and revolutionizing the automotive landscape.Copyrighted 2023. Dow Jones & Company, Inc.

Qualcomm Security Summit: Dynamic Memory Allocators Qualcomm 2022-11-03 | Technology is ubiquitous in our daily lives. In our homes. In our cars. In our workplaces, classrooms and healthcare environments. You name it, and technology almost certainly plays a role. As technology advances, security is a growing concern. The Qualcomm Product Security Summit is an event dedicated to the challenges facing security practitioners in tech. In this video, University of California Santa Barbara PhD candidate Fabio Gritti delivers a presentation called "Analyzing the Security of Dynamic Allocators for Monolithic Firmware Images." Dynamic memory allocators are algorithms used to manage the dynamic memory — for example, heap memory — of programs. A robust dynamic memory allocator is a crucial element of any modern system. Developers seek to strike a balance between their performance and security — but vulnerable allocators are frequently abused by nefarious actors as building blocks in complex exploitation chains. Most research on dynamic memory allocators is focussed on how they function in widely used and standardized heap libraries — used by high-end devices like desktop systems and servers. And while dynamic memory allocators are also used extensively in embedded systems, they haven’t commanded as much scrutiny or consideration from the security community. To address this, Gritti and his UC Santa Barbara collaborators developed HEAPSTER, a system that automatically identifies the heap library used by a monolithic firmware image, and tests its security with symbolic execution and bounded model checking. This testing discovered critical heap vulnerabilities in embedded systems, showing a clear pattern of subpar security standards — raising concerns about the security of dynamic memory allocators used by IoT systems.

Syscall-Flow-Integrity Protection (SFIP) at Qualcomm Security Summit Qualcomm 2022-10-18 | As applications become more complex, the odds of more security vulnerabilities happening increases. At the 2022 Qualcomm Product Security Summit, Graz University of Technology’s Claudio Canella conducted a session entitled “Enforcing Program Behavior Through Syscall Sequences and Origins,” and walked the audience through possible security countermeasures. One such countermeasure is Control-Flow Integrity, or CFI. CFI allows you to restrict syscalls and returns to a specific location, but only within one security domain, like the user-space or the kernel, and does not protect interaction between the two. Protecting against cross-security-domain attacks requires the Linux Secure Computing (Seccomp) feature, which limits an application's syscalls to a pre-defined set. However, Seccomp only considers individual syscalls independent of previously executed ones, which reduces its effectiveness. Built upon Claudio Canella’s previous work on Enter Sandbox, Syscall-Flow-Integrity Protection (SFIP) addresses the limitations of Linux Seccomp by limiting the control flow across security domains like user-to-kernel transfers. SFIP is built upon three pillars: syscall sequences that model the control flow of the application, a syscall origin map that identifies valid syscall locations, and kernel enforcement that checks whether the current syscall is part of a valid sequence and originates from a valid location. Extracting the information necessary for SFIP presents three challenges, which led to the creation of an automated extraction system called SysFlow. SysFlow allows for fully automated syscall-flow-integrity protection of large-scale applications. SFIP sports a minimal runtime overhead of 1.8%, which makes it a worthwhile solution that increases the complexity of control-hijacking and mimicry attacks, and provides a significant attack surface reduction.

Qualcomm 5G private networks enable industrial automation Qualcomm 2022-10-10 | Automation and its associated connectivity tools are essential to achieving Industry 4.0. In this video, take a look behind the tech to see how Qualcomm and Bosch are partnering to enable mission-critical industrial automation over a 5G private network. Venturing inside Bosch’s electronics factory, you can see how several technologies rely on a 5G private network to automate mission-critical business processes. This begins with an autonomous vehicle providing an empty box to an autonomous mobile robot (AMR). 5G allows ultra-low latency, time synchronization communication with the AMR, while 5G positioning tech alerts the AMR that the autonomous vehicle is in place. The AMR can then pick up a part from the conveyor belt, hold it under an HD vision systems camera that is connected to virtual controls via 5G, decide if the part is of sufficient quality or not, and sort the part accordingly. Good parts are then placed into the box atop the autonomous vehicle. When the box is full, the vehicle can then take the parts to the next part of the factory floor. This demonstration is a testament to the ability of Qualcomm’s high-reliability, low-latency 5G technologies that can increase industrial automation and usher in Industry 4.0.Explore all 5G technologies from Qualcomm: qualcomm.com/products/technology/5gLearn more about 5G private networks: qualcomm.com/news/onq/2022/05/practical-innovations-private-5g-networksLearn more about 5G and industrial IoT: qualcomm.com/research/5g/5g-industrial-iotExplore all industrial solutions from Qualcomm: qualcomm.com/products/application/industrial-commercial
