A Survey on IP Watermarking Techniques
نویسندگان
چکیده
Intellectual property (IP) block reuse is essential for facilitating the design process of system-ona-chip. Sharing IP designs poses significant high security risks. Recently, digital watermarking emerged as a candidate solution for copyright protection of IP blocks. In this paper, we survey and classify different techniques used for watermarking IP designs. To this end, we defined several evaluation criteria, which can also be used as a benchmark for new IP watermarking developments. Furthermore, we established a comprehensive set of requirements for future IP watermarking techniques.

IP Watermarking Techniques: Survey and Comparison
Intellectual property (IP) block reuse is essential for facilitating the design process of System-on-a-Chip. Sharing IP blocks in such a competitive market poses significant high security risks. IPs can be read, copied or even partitioned to cover the authorship proof. Creators and owners of IP designs want assurance that their content will not be illegally redistributed by consumers. Consumers...
متن کاملHardware IP Watermarking and Fingerprinting
The continuously increasing gap between silicon and designer productivity has created a need for common design reuse. The initial response to this need emphasized the enforcement of designers’ rights through the creation of design such that ownership can be proved with ultra high probability. Our primary objective is to provide sound treatment of the foundations of hardware watermarking and fin...
متن کاملVerifying the Authorship of Embedded IP Cores: Watermarking and Core Identification Techniques
In this paper, we present an overview of existing watermarking techniques for FPGA and ASIC designs as well as our new watermarking and identification techniques for FPGA IP cores. Unlike most existing watermarking techniques, the focus of our new techniques lies on ease of verification, even if the protected cores are embedded into a product. Moreover, we have concentrated on higher abstractio...

In this paper, we present an overview of new watermarking and identification techniques for FPGA IP cores. Unlike most existing watermarking techniques, the focus of our techniques lies on ease of verification, even if the protected cores are embedded into a product. Moreover, we have concentrated on higher abstraction levels for embedding the watermark, particularly at the logic level, where I...
متن کاملConstraint-based watermarking techniques for design IP protection
Digital system designs are the product of valuable effort and know-how. Their embodiments, from software and hardware description language program down to device-level netlist and mask data, represent carefully guarded intellectual property (IP). Hence, design methodologies based on IP reuse require new mechanisms to protect the rights of IP producers and owners. This paper establishes principl...
