In this paper, we take a fresh look at a well-known NP-complete problem-the exact
minimization of incompletely specified Mealy machines. Most existing exact techniques in …

Detailed microarchitectural models are necessary to predict, explain, or optimize the
performance of software running on modern microprocessors. Building such models often …

As the reuse of IP cores or the development of frequently used hardware modules is gaining
more attention in the semiconductor industry, the misappropriation of the owner's identity is a …

Rapid advances in the Internet-of-Things (IoT) have exposed the underlying hardware
devices to security threats. As the major component of hardware devices, the integrated …

With the rapid development of Internet-of-Things (IoT), hardware security becomes an
important issue. Once a chip is attacked, the authentication always faces serious credibility …

We propose an extended Darwinian Genetic Algorithm that builds upon the traditional
genetic algorithm in the efforts to more accurately depict the process of natural selection We …

This paper presents an improved watermarking scheme for soft Intellectual Property (IP)-
Cores using Genetic Algorithms (GAs). For this purpose, a watermark signature and an IP …

Over the last two decades or so, VLSI hardware is increasingly subject to sophisticated
attacks on both the supply chain and design fronts. There is no explicit trust that the …

With the global spanning of integrated circuit (IC) and electronic device supply chains, the
ability of an untrusted foundry to alter a design for intellectual property (IP)/IC piracy …

(IoT), hardware security becomes an important issue. Once a chip is attacked, the
authentication always faces serious credibility crisis. In this work, a Hausdorff distance …
