By Technical Paper Link - 23 Jan, 2025 - Comments: 0

A technical paper titled "Library-Attack: Reverse Engineering Approach for Evaluating Hardware IP Protection" was published by researchers at University of Florida and Indiana University. Abstract "Existing countermeasures for hardware IP protection, such as obfuscation, camouflaging, and redaction, aim to defend against confidentiality and integrity attacks. However, within the current thr... » read more

The Threat Of Supply Chain Insecurity
By Ann Mutschler - 07 Sep, 2023 - Comments: 3

Concerns about counterfeit chips are growing as more chips are deployed in safety- and mission-critical applications, prompting better traceability and new and inexpensive solutions that can determine if chips are new or used. But some counterfeit chips still slip through, and the problem gets worse wherever there are shortages. Estimates vary widely for how much counterfeiting costs in term... » read more

NoC Obfuscation For Protecting Against Reverse Engineering Attacks (U. Of Florida)
By Technical Paper Link - 20 Jul, 2023 - Comments: 0

A technical paper titled "ObNoCs: Protecting Network-on-Chip Fabrics Against Reverse-Engineering Attacks" was published by researchers at University of Florida. Abstract: "Modern System-on-Chip designs typically use Network-on-Chip (NoC) fabrics to implement coordination among integrated hardware blocks. An important class of security vulnerabilities involves a rogue foundry reverse-engineeri... » read more

U. Of Florida: Protecting Chip-Design IP From Reverse-Engineering
By Technical Paper Link - 13 Jun, 2022 - Comments: 0

New research paper titled "Hardening Circuit-Design IP Against Reverse-Engineering Attacks" from University of Florida. "Design-hiding techniques are a central piece of academic and industrial efforts to protect electronic circuits from being reverse-engineered. However, these techniques have lacked a principled foundation to guide their design and security evaluation, leading to a long line... » read more

New Security Approaches, New Threats
By Ed Sperling - 09 Dec, 2020 - Comments: 0

New and different approaches to security are gaining a foothold as the life expectancy for advanced chips increases, and as emerging technologies such as quantum computing threaten to crack even the most complex encryption schemes. These approaches include everything from homomorphic encryption, where data is processed without being decrypted, to different ways of sending and receiving data ... » read more

Scaling Anti-Tamper Protection To Meet Escalating Threats
By Scott Best - 04 Jun, 2020 - Comments: 0

Anti-tamper tends to be one of those catchall phrases encompassing any countermeasure on a security chip. A more precise definition would be that anti-tamper protection is any collection of countermeasures that serves to thwart an adversary’s attempt to monitor or affect the correct operation of a chip or a security core within a chip. Given that, it can be useful to think about a hierarchy o... » read more

IP Security In FPGAs
By Ed Sperling - 05 Sep, 2019 - Comments: 0

Quinn Jacobson, strategic architect at Achronix, talks about security in FPGAs, including how to prevent reverse engineering of IP, how to make sure the design is authentic, and how to limit access to IP in transit and in the chip. » read more
