In the context of hardware trust and assurance, reverse engineering has been often
considered as an illegal action. Generally speaking, reverse engineering aims to retrieve …

Semiconductor design companies are integrating proprietary intellectual property (IP) blocks
to build custom integrated circuits (ICs) and fabricate them in a third-party foundry …

Recently, eFPGA-based redaction has been proposed as a promising solution for hiding
parts of a digital design from untrusted entities, where legitimate end-users can restore …

Designers use third-party intellectual property (IP) cores and outsource various steps in the
integrated circuit (IC) design and manufacturing flow. As a result, security vulnerabilities …

Obfuscation or Logic locking (LL) is a technique for protecting hardware intellectual property
(IP) blocks against diverse threats, including IP theft, reverse engineering, and malicious …

This paper proposes AdaTest, a novel adaptive test pattern generation framework for
