Hardware Trojans (HTs) are malicious circuits planted in Integrated Circuits (ICs). Multiple techniques using Side-Channel signals to detect HTs have been developed over the past decade. However, most of this research focuses on HT detection. Few of them ...

Networks-on-Chips (NoC) based Multi-Processor System-on-Chip (MPSoC) are increasingly employed in industrial and consumer electronics. Outsourcing third-party IPs (3PIPs) and tools in NoC-based MPSoC is a prevalent development way in most fabless ...

With the exponential increase in the popularity of the RISC-V ecosystem, the security of this platform must be re-evaluated especially for mission-critical and IoT devices. Besides, the insertion of a Hardware Trojan (HT) into a chip after the in-house ...

Using quantum computing, this paper addresses two scientifically-pressing and day to day-relevant problems, namely, chemical retrosynthesis which is an important step in drug/material discovery and security of semiconductor supply chain. We show that ...

More and more digitized techniques and network connectivity are deployed to advanced manufacturing to enable remote system monitoring and automated production; however, this trend also leads to the traditional assumption of security in manufacturing not ...

With the advancement of VLSI technology, Tiled Chip Multicore Processors (TCMP) with packet switched Network-on-Chip (NoC) have been emerged as the backbone of the modern data intensive parallel systems. Due to tight time-to-market constraints, ...

Network-on-Chip (NoC) is widely used as an efficient communication architecture in multi-core and many-core System-on-Chips (SoCs). However, the shared communication resources in NoCs, e.g., channels, buffers, and routers might be used to conduct ...

In the context of hardware trust and assurance, reverse engineering has been often considered as an illegal action. Generally speaking, reverse engineering aims to retrieve information from a product, i.e., integrated circuits (ICs) and printed circuit ...

Recent advances in neural networks (NNs) and their applications in deep learning techniques have made the security aspects of NNs an important and timely topic for fundamental research. In this paper, we survey the security challenges and opportunities ...

With the trend of outsourcing fabrication, split manufacturing is regarded as a promising way to both acquire the high-end nodes in untrusted external foundries and protect the design from potential attackers. However, in this article, we show that ...

FPGA-SoCs are heterogeneous computing systems consisting of reconfigurable hardware and high performance processing units. This combination enables a flexible design methodology for embedded systems. However, the sharing of resources between these ...

Network-on-Chip (NoC) has become exposed to security threats. It can be infected with a Hardware Trojan (HT) to degrade the system performance and apply a denial of service attack. In this paper, we proposed a new HT-based threat model, known as Black ...

With the growth of Internet-of-Things (IoT), the potential threat vectors for malicious cyber and hardware attacks are rapidly expanding. As the IoT paradigm emerges, there are challenging requirements to design energy-efficient and secure systems. To ...

In complex systems like 'Internet of Things' and 'Cyber Physical Systems', reliable communication is made possible by the use of error control codes like turbo codes. Such systems are vulnerable to attack by Trojans during the design or fabrication ...

Hardware Trojans are a significant security threat due to the globalization of hardware design and supply chain. We demonstrate a new type of hardware Trojan hidden behind internal don't care conditions. The proposed Trojans can pass through formal ...

We provide an analysis of IEEE standard P1735, which describes methods for encrypting electronic-design intellectual property (IP), as well as the management of access rights for such IP. We find a surprising number of cryptographic mistakes in the ...

Logic locking has been conceived as a promising proactive defense strategy against intellectual property (IP) piracy, counterfeiting, hardware Trojans, reverse engineering, and overbuilding attacks. Yet, various attacks that use a working chip as an ...

Component based design is one of the preferred methods to tackle system complexity, and reduce costs and time-to-market. Major parts of the system design and IC production are outsourced to facilities distributed across the globe, thus opening the door ...

As chip multiprocessors (CMPs) are becoming more susceptible to process variation, crosstalk, and hard and soft errors, emerging threats from rogue employees in a compromised foundry are creating new vulnerabilities that could undermine the integrity of ...

In this paper, we propose a covert threat model for MPSoCs designed using 3rd party Network-on-Chips (NoC). We illustrate that a malicious NoC can disrupt the availability of on-chip resources, thereby causing large performance bottlenecks for the ...
