A rapidly growing third-party Intellectual Property (IP) market provides IP consumers with high flexibility when designing electronic systems. It also reduces the development time and expertise needed to compete in a market where profitwindows are very narrow. However, one key issue that has been neglected is the security of hardware designs built upon third-party IP cores. Historically, IP con...

h SECURITY OF ELECTRONIC hardware at different stages of its life cycle has emerged as a paramount concern to integrated circuits (ICs) designers, system integrators, as well as to the end users. Over time, hardware components, platforms and supply chains have been considered secure and trustworthy. However, recent discoveries and reports on security vulnerabilities with attacks in microchips a...

In this paper, the protection coverage area of a security system is considered. The protection coverage is determined by applying the protection model of security systems, which is brought forward according to Neyman-Pearson Criterion. The protection model can be used to define the protection probability on a grid-modeled field. The security systems deployed in a guard field are regarded abstra...

The TCP/IP protocol suite has been designed to provide a simple, open communication infrastructure in an academic collaborative environment. Little attention has been paid to security issues. Therefore, the TCP/IP protocols are not able to provide the authentication, integrity, and privacy mechanisms to protect communication in a hostile environment. To solve the security problem, several secur...

Hardware is an increasingly attractive attack surface since it controls low-level access to critical resources like cryptographic keys, personally identifiable information, and firmware. Unfortunately, it is difficult to assess the security vulnerabilities of a hardware design, which is a consequence of too few hardware security design tools and metrics. In this work, we describe important secu...

Split manufacturing (SM) and layout camouflaging (LC) are two promising techniques to obscure integrated circuits (ICs) from malicious entities during after manufacturing. While both enable protecting the intellectual property (IP) of ICs, SM can further mitigate insertion hardware Trojans (HTs). In this paper, we strive for "best worlds," that is seek combine individual strengths LC. By jointl...

THE EMERGENCE OF a globalized, horizontal semiconductor business model raises concerns involving the security and trust of the information systems on which modern society is increasingly reliant for mission-critical functionality. Hardware security and trust issues span a broad spectrum of topics ranging from the malicious insertion of Trojan circuits designed to act as a silicon time bomb to d...

Title: Network-on-chip security using multipath routing Authors: Radu Stefan, Kees Goossens keywords: noc, multipath, security In a highly competitive consumer electronics industry, companies try to protect their IP and that of their customers from reverse-engineering attempts and sometimes they attempt to crate barriers against unauthorized use of their products in applications like Digital Ri...
