TLDR
The threat of hardware Trojan attacks is analyzed; attack models, types, and scenarios are presented; different forms of protection approaches are discussed; and emerging attack modes, defenses, and future research pathways are described.Abstract:
Security of a computer system has been traditionally related to the security of the software or the information being processed. The underlying hardware used for information processing has been considered trusted. The emergence of hardware Trojan attacks violates this root of trust. These attacks, in the form of malicious modifications of electronic hardware at different stages of its life cycle, pose major security concerns in the electronics industry. An adversary can mount such an attack with an objective to cause operational failure or to leak secret information from inside a chip-e.g., the key in a cryptographic chip, during field operation. Global economic trend that encourages increased reliance on untrusted entities in the hardware design and fabrication process is rapidly enhancing the vulnerability to such attacks. In this paper, we analyze the threat of hardware Trojan attacks; present attack models, types, and scenarios; discuss different forms of protection approaches, both proactive and reactive; and describe emerging attack modes, defenses, and future research pathways.read more

Creating a Backscattering Side Channel to Enable Detection of Dormant Hardware Trojans
TL;DR: Results show that backscattering-based detection outperforms the EM side channel, confirm that dormant HTs are much more difficult for detection than HTs that have been activated, and show how detection is affected by changing the HT’s size and physical location on the IC.

Key-Based Dynamic Functional Obfuscation of Integrated Circuits Using Sequentially Triggered Mode-Based Design
TL;DR: To achieve dynamic obfuscation, ideas from hardware Trojan literature and sequentially triggered counters are utilized and results in stronger obfuscation by increasing the time complexity of deciphering the correct key using brute-force attack, even with shorter keys.
