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 …

Logic locking/obfuscation has emerged as an auspicious solution for protecting the
semiconductor intellectual property (IP) from the untrusted entities in the design and …

The rapid adoption of heterogeneous computing has driven the integration of Field
Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) into cloud datacenters and flexible System-on-Chips …

The security of FPGAs is a crucial topic, as any vulnerability within the hardware can have
severe consequences, if they are used in a secure design. Since FPGA designs are …

Logic locking has been proposed as an obfuscation technique to protect outsourced IC
designs from IP piracy by untrusted entities in the design and fabrication process. In this …

Thermal laser stimulation (TLS) is a failure analysis technique, which can be deployed by an
adversary to localize and read out stored secrets in the SRAM of a chip. To this date, a few …

Due to globalization, the semiconductor industry is becoming more susceptible to trust and
security issues. Hardware Trojans, ie, malicious modification to integrated circuits (ICs), can …

With the emergence of low-cost smart and connected IoT devices, the area of cyber-physical
security is becoming increasingly important. Past research has demonstrated new threat …

Logic locking is a promising solution against emerging hardware security threats, which
entails protecting a Boolean circuit using a “keying” mechanism. The latest and hitherto …
