TLDR
A scheme SECURE_IP, which relies on the application of cryptographic principles and the watermarking techniques to provide both direct and indirect IP protection in VLSI physical design, makes unauthorized disclosure of a valuable design infeasible during its transmission, and can easily detect any alteration of the design file during transmission.Abstract:
The emerging trend of design reuse in VLSI circuits poses the threat of theft and misappropriation of intellectual property (IP) of the design. Protection of design IP is a matter of prime concern today. We propose a scheme SECURE_IP, which tackles the problem from an entirely new viewpoint. It relies on the application of cryptographic principles and the watermarking techniques to provide both direct and indirect IP protection in VLSI physical design. It makes unauthorized disclosure of a valuable design infeasible during its transmission, and can easily detect any alteration of the design file during transmission. The proposed scheme ensures authentication of the original designer as well as non-repudiation between the designer (seller) and the buyer. Illegal reselling can be efficiently detected by the proposed scheme. The algorithm SECURE_IP is tested on random and MCNC benchmark instances, and the experimental results are quite encouragingread more

SoC: a real platform for IP reuse, IP infringement, and IP protection
Debasri Saha,Susmita Sur-Kolay +1 more
TL;DR: The IP-based SoC design flow is discussed to highlight the exact locations and the nature of infringements in the flow, identifies the adversaries, categorizes these infringements, and applies strategic analysis on the effectiveness of the existing IPP techniques for these categories of infringement.

Constraint-based watermarking techniques for design IP protection

TL;DR: Watermarking-based IP protection as mentioned in this paper addresses IP protection by tracing unauthorized reuse and making untraceable unauthorized reuse as difficult as recreating given pieces of IP from scratch, where a watermark is a mechanism for identification that is nearly invisible to human and machine inspection; difficult to remove; and permanently embedded as an integral part of the design.
