ROANOKE, Va., March 08, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- MacAulay-Brown, Inc. (MacB), a leading National Security company delivering advanced engineering services, cybersecurity and product solutions, announced today that a technical expert from its Secure Computing and Communications (SCC) division will present at the 2018 Government Microcircuit Applications and Critical Technology (GOMACTech) conference. Principal Hardware Engineer Stephen Baka will feature a whitepaper abstract entitled, “Malicious Trigger Discovery in Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) Firmware” on Tuesday, March 13 during a session on FPGA Security. The four-day conference, scheduled from March 12-15, will feature presentations supporting Department of Defense (DoD) advanced microelectronics initiatives at the Hyatt Regency in Miami, Florida.

Mr. Baka’s presentation will detail innovative solutions for detecting Hardware Trojans and “kill switches”.

“Steve will showcase our advanced automated FPGA assurance methods to the DoD community by highlighting the innovative techniques and lessons-learned via the DARPA VET program,” said Barry Polakowski, Senior Director of MacB’s SCC division. “This is the fifth year in a row that we’ve been selected to present a technical paper or serve as a panelist at GOMACTech – a testament to MacB’s reputation as a trusted and accredited microelectronics services provider.”
