Exploring possible vulnerabilities for making hardware Trojans helps designers to improve the security and trust of integrated circuits (ICs). This paper discusses the hardware Trojan possibility in SRAM to evaluate the security of SRAM and evaluates the effectiveness of existing detection methods. The paper shows that conventional detection methods fails to detect some special Trojan designs that use certain address sequence for their trigger condition. Simulations are performed using 90nm CMOS technology process to illustrate the malicious effect of these hardware Trojans on functionality and performance of SRAM.
