TLDR
This work seeks refuge to blockchain technology to eradicate third parties and facilitate a transparent and automated pay per use licensing mechanism and dynamic pricing of the hardware IPs based on the factors of trustworthiness and aging.Abstract:
The present era is witnessing a reuse of hardware IPs to reduce cost As trustworthiness is an essential factor, designers prefer to use hardware IPs which performed effectively in the past, but at the same time, are still active and did not age In such scenarios, pay per use licensing schemes suit best for both producers and users Existing pay per use licensing mechanisms consider a centralized third party, which may not be trustworthy Hence, we seek refuge to blockchain technology to eradicate such third parties and facilitate a transparent and automated pay per use licensing mechanism A blockchain is a distributed public ledger whose records are added based on peer review and majority consensus of its participants, that cannot be tampered or modified later Smart contracts are deployed to facilitate the mechanism Even dynamic pricing of the hardware IPs based on the factors of trustworthiness and aging have been focused in this work, which are not associated in existing literature Security analysis of the proposed mechanism has been provided Performance evaluation is carried based on the gas usage of Ethereum Solidity test environment, along with cost analysis based on lifetime and related user ratingsread more

How can Blockchain technology support patent management? A systematic literature review
TL;DR: In this paper , the authors present a systematic literature review of patent management using blockchain technology and show that blockchain technology mitigates environmental and behavioral uncertainty, while stimulating new governance forms and business models by reorganizing or discarding stakeholders.

A PUF-FSM Binding Scheme for FPGA IP Protection and Pay-Per-Device Licensing
TL;DR: A novel IP protection mechanism to restrict IP's execution only on specific FPGA devices in order to efficiently protect IPs from being cloned, copied, or used with unauthorized integration is proposed and can also enforce the pay-per-device licensing.

A Pay-per-Use Licensing Scheme for Hardware IP Cores in Recent SRAM-Based FPGAs
TL;DR: This work proposes an IP protection mechanism for FPGA designs at the level of individual IP cores, by making use of the self-reconfiguring capabilities of modern FPGAs and deploying a trusted third party to run a metering service, similar to the work of Giineysu et ah and Drimer et at
