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

The hardware security of RSFQ circuits has become an issue of growing importance for
prospective exascale computing systems. Hardware security in RSFQ circuits is particularly …

Logic locking aims to protect the intellectual property of a circuit from a fabricator by
modifying the original logic of the circuit into a new “locked” circuit such that an entity without …

Hardware security in single flux quantum (SFQ) circuits is an emerging research area due
the increasing demand of data centers operating with sensitive information and the limited …

Logic locking “hides” the functionality of a digital circuit to protect it from counterfeiting,
piracy, and malicious design modifications. The original design is transformed into a …

Due to the complexity and the cost of producing integrated circuits, most hardware circuit
designers outsource the manufacturing of their circuits to a third-party foundry. However, a …

A universal circuit (UC) can be thought of as a programmable circuit that can simulate any
circuit up to a certain size by specifying its secret configuration bits. UCs have been …

With deep sub-micron technology, the capital cost considerations dictate the outsourcing of
integrated circuit (IC) manufacturing. However, relinquishing such a large control over the IC …
