OBSIDIA Semiconductors

Excited about today's announcement from the Department of Commerce. OBSIDIA Semiconductors has signed a letter of intent under the CHIPS and Science Act to accelerate device-level authentication for secure electronics supply chains by validating silicon through measurement, not paperwork. Grateful to the team at Commerce and the CHIPS R&D Office for the hard work leading up to this moment, and looking forward to collaborating on delivering a secure semiconductor supply chain for the United States. #CHIPSAct #Semiconductors #SupplyChainSecurity https://lnkd.in/gMG9Jc5s

Steel on the floor in 2026. Done. OBSIDIA has installed its first REELScan beta system onto a live production floor. Not just any floor: ParPro Technologies is an ITAR-registered, NIST 800-171 certified contract manufacturer serving aerospace, automotive, space, and defense. If you want to make a difference in the most critical verticals, ParPro is the place to be, and REELScan is now validating components before they're ever placed on a board. Huge thanks to Mr. Le, Mr. Nguyen, and the whole PARPRO, Inc. - Partners in Production team for taking this step with us. That's the crew in the photo, standing with the OBSIDIA team and tool #1. A few more systems are heading to customers this year for real-world field learning. Then in 2027, OBSIDIA delivers zero-trust for hardware at scale. This is the beginning. If you're building or backing the future of trusted hardware, let's talk. #Semiconductors #SupplyChainSecurity #HardwareSecurity #DeepTech #NationalSecurity

Growing demand for “combined covert, forensic, and machine-readable solutions” in electronics anti-counterfeit protection.That makes sense. In high-value electronics, no single method should carry the full burden of trust. What should the next layer of component authentication look like especially when parts may look correct from the outside? Source: IndexBox https://lnkd.in/gTUgfNtq

Semiconductor Engineering notes that chip buyers are now asking suppliers for “NCNT” sourcing plans - “No China, No Taiwan.”That is a major signal: semiconductor security is moving beyond chip design and into supply-chain verification. As sourcing rules tighten and back-end manufacturing remains globally distributed, one question becomes harder to ignore: How should manufacturers verify that every component entering production is actually the component they intended to source?

“over 70%” of secure elements and biometric sensor modules are sourced from non-EU fabrication facilities. As security critical electronics become more globally distributed, how should OEMs and contract manufacturers think about verifying component authenticity before assembly?

“Hardware-rooted security” is becoming part of the smartphone security conversation, not just software defense.The question this raises for the electronics ecosystem: if trust starts in hardware, where should verification start - at design, procurement, or before components enter production?

It’s not often that an article leaves me dumbstruck and searching for words. Shannon Huffman Polson's perspective on service is something you need to read. https://lnkd.in/grYm4q_a

"Supply chain trust now includes AI models and their infrastructure dependencies." (U.S. Defense official). As AI policy tightens and vendor qualification cycles get longer, the compliance perimeter is expanding down to chip fabrication, firmware, and BOM traceability.That's exactly where counterfeit components hide. The policy is catching up to the risk. The question is whether your sourcing process has. https://lnkd.in/g2kczh2f

We’re excited that OBSIDIA will be at the Space Symposium, looking forward to seeing old friends, making new ones. If you’re attending, let’s connect... https://lnkd.in/g3idTxb
