Hardware Security: One-Key Premise of Logic Locking
By Technical Paper Link - 30 Aug, 2024 - Comments: 0

A new technical paper titled "Late Breaking Results: On the One-Key Premise of Logic Locking" was published by researchers at Synopsys. Abstract "The evaluation of logic locking methods has long been predicated on an implicit assumption that only the correct key can unveil the true functionality of a protected circuit. Consequently, a locking technique is deemed secure if it resists a good ... » read more
