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 …

The globalization of the semiconductor supply chain introduces ever-increasing security and
privacy risks. Two major concerns are IP theft through reverse engineering and malicious …

Security of a computer system has been traditionally related to the security of the software or
the information being processed. The underlying hardware used for information processing …

Given the increasing complexity of modern electronics and the cost of fabrication, entities
from around the globe have become more heavily involved in all phases of the electronics …

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

Research in the field of hardware Trojans has seen significant growth in the past decade.
However, standard benchmarks to evaluate hardware Trojans and their detection are …

While the move to smaller transistors has been a boon for performance it has dramatically
increased the cost to fabricate chips using those smaller transistors. This forces the vast …

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 …

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

Circuit camouflaging is a recently proposed defense mechanism to protect digital integrated
circuits (ICs) from reverse engineering attacks by using camouflaged gates, ie, logic gates …
