Integrated Circuit Authentication: Hardware Trojans and Counterfeit Detection

This book describes techniques to verify the authenticity of integrated circuits (ICs). It focuses on hardware Trojan detection and prevention and counterfeit detection and prevention. The authors discuss a variety of detection schemes and design methodologies for improving Trojan detection techniques, as well as various attempts at developing hardware Trojans in IP cores and ICs. While describing existing Trojan detection methods, the authors also analyze their effectiveness in disclosing various types of Trojans, and demonstrate several architecture-level solutions.

This book provides readers with a comprehensive introduction to hardware Trojans. The authors explain the hardware Trojan taxonomy in detail, while delivering deep understanding of the potential impacts throughout the integrated circuit (IC) lifecycle. While discussing the shortcomings of current, industrial IC testing techniques for hardware Trojans, the authors describe the details of emerging techniques to detect them and to prevent their insertion into products.

· Provides a comprehensive introduction to hardware Trojans and their potential impact on the integrated circuit lifecycle;

· Equips designers with tools for identifying potential vulnerabilities throughout the design cycle and manufacturing;

· Describes state-of-the-art techniques for hardware Trojan design, detection, and prevention;

· Analyzes susceptibility at the behavioral-, gate-, layout-level to Trojan insertion.
