TLDR
This work proposes a circuit partition based approach to detect and locate the embedded Trojan and provides a power profile based method for refining the candidate regions that may contain a Trojan.Abstract:
Outsourcing of SoC fabrication units has created the potential threat of design tampering using hardware Trojans. Methods based on side-channel analysis exist to differentiate such maligned ICs from the genuine ones but process variation in the foundries limit the effectiveness of such approaches. In this work, we propose a circuit partition based approach to detect and locate the embedded Trojan. Results show that our approach is effective in separating out candidate Trojans in the circuit. In addition, we provide a power profile based method for refining the candidate regions that may contain a Trojan. In many cases, such an isolation method leads to noticeable manifestation of the anomalous behavior of the circuit due to the presence of the Trojan thereby enhancing chances of their detection.read more

Breakthrough silicon scanning discovers backdoor in military chip
TL;DR: Using an innovative patented technique, Pipeline Emission Analysis (PEA) was able to extract the secret key to activate the backdoor, as well as other security keys such as the AES and the Passkey, which means the device is wide open to intellectual property (IP) theft, fraud, re-programming, and reverse engineering of the design.
