Reverse engineering (RE) is one of the major security threats to the semiconductor industry
due to the involvement of untrustworthy parties in an increasingly globalized chip …

In the past decade, a lot of progress has been made in the design and evaluation of logic
locking; a premier technique to safeguard the integrity of integrated circuits throughout the …

Artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) techniques have been increasingly
used in several fields to improve performance and the level of automation. In recent years …

The design and manufacturing steps of a chip typically involve several parties. For example,
a chip may comprise several third-party intellectual property (IP) cores and the integrated …

We present a locking-based design-for-security methodology to prevent piracy of RF
transceiver integrated circuits. The solution is called SyncLock as it locks the …

We demonstrate for the first time system-level locking for RF transceivers serving as an anti-
piracy security technique. The locking strategy is to make RF performance key-dependent by …

We propose an antipiracy security approach for programmable analog and mixed-signal
(AMS) integrated circuits (ICs). The security approach relies on functionality locking by …

Chaotic circuits have found application in various research areas, including cryptography.
However, more effort has to be made to achieve the properties required for such circuits …

The globalized and distributed semiconductor supply chain exposes the integrated circuits
to security threats. These threats can target the circuit functionality, the secret data …

We propose an anti-piracy security technique based on locking for analog and mixed-signal
circuits designed in FD-SOI. We show that obfuscating the body-bias voltages of tunable …
