Since the isolation of graphene in 2004, two-dimensional (2D) materials research has
rapidly evolved into an entire subdiscipline in the physical sciences with a wide range of …

Logic locking is a design concealment mechanism for protecting the IPs integrated into
modern System-on-Chip (SoC) architectures from a wide range of hardware security threats …

Logic locking has been conceived as a promising proactive defense strategy against
intellectual property (IP) piracy, counterfeiting, hardware Trojans, reverse engineering, and …

In today's diversified semiconductor supply-chain, protecting intellectual property (IP) and
maintaining manufacturing integrity are important concerns. Circuit obfuscation techniques …

With the adoption of a globalized and distributed IC design flow, IP piracy, reverse
engineering, and counterfeiting threats are becoming more prevalent. Logic obfuscation …

Logic locking is a technique that is proposed to protect outsourced IC designs from piracy
and counterfeiting by untrusted foundries. A locked IC preserves the correct functionality …

In this paper, we introduce the Satisfiability Modulo Theory (SMT) attack on obfuscated
circuits. The proposed attack is the superset of Satisfiability (SAT) attack, with many …

Logic locking and IC camouflaging are proactive circuit obfuscation methods that if proven
secure can thwart hardware attacks such as reverse engineering and IP theft. However, the …

The advancing of reverse engineering techniques has complicated the efforts in intellectual
property protection. Proactive methods have been developed recently, among which layout …

The fabless business model has given rise to many security threats, including piracy of
intellectual property (IP), overproduction, counterfeiting, reverse engineering (RE), and …
