A Hardware Trojan Circuit Detection Method Using Activation Sequence Generations
Masayoshi Yoshimura, Tomohiro Bouyashiki, Toshinori Hosokawa · 2017
Recently, the increased utilization of outsourcing services for a part of designing VLSIs might reduce the reliability of VLSIs. There is a risk that hardware Trojan circuits are inserted into VLSIs by attackers at design phases. It is difficult to detect Trojan circuits by functional verification and testing. In this paper, we propose a hardware Trojan circuit detection method based on a pair of non-transition lines and unset values generated as the results of acceptance verification.
