Playstation 3 security by Neil Costigan
The Cell Broadband Engine (Cell BE) lies at the heart of Sony's Playstation 3. Because its designers were given the rare opportunity to design a processor from the round-up, security is an integral part of the processor architecture and not an after-thought.
This talk will describe that architecture and expand on the recent attacks that have made it vulnerable.
