PCIe 6.0 is a major update to the PCI Express technology. Not only is PAM4 signaling a considerable departure from the NRZ signaling of all prior generations, but Flit Mode impacts the Physical Layer, Data Link Layer and Transaction Layer in significant ways.

Come dramatically decrease your time to understand all the impacts that PCIe6 brings by taking MindShare PCIe 6.0 Update course.

We have moved from a world where a simple I/O device installed in a system was reasonably safe, to a world where literally everything could be used as a possible attack vector. The weak points may come from design limitations, from designs being used outside of the environment that they were intended for, and from implementation defects.

This PCIe focused security course starts by looking at some of the simpler forms of attacks such as DMA, and some of the defenses again those attacks (IOMMU), and also some of the holes in these defense mechanisms. We then move onto looking at some of the additional features added to help protect the fabric (such as source validation in Access Control Services), and then onto the newest features for evaluating trust, link encryption, and point-to-point encryption.
