FPGA design deobfuscation by iterative LUT modification at bitstream level

M Moraitis, E Dubrova - Journal of Hardware and Systems Security, 2023 - Springer
Hardware obfuscation is a well-known countermeasure against reverse engineering. For
FPGA designs, obfuscation can be implemented with a small overhead by using …

FPGA bitstream modification with interconnect in mind

M Moraitis, E Dubrova - Proceedings of the 9th International Workshop …, 2020 - dl.acm.org
Bitstream reverse engineering is traditionally associated with Intellectual Property (IP) theft.
Another, less known, threat deriving from that is bitstream modification attacks. It has been …
