The insidious of Hardware Trojans (HT) makes it hardly to active in the Integrated Circuit(IC).We designed a special structure, been named AND-AND or OR-OR, which is inserted in the critical points that HT is liable to insert by analyze the characteristics of the IC.Then the state turnover rate of these notes will be greatly improved, and the activate time of HT that driven by these notes will be reduced.The implementation results of UART benchmarks prove that this method can significantly increase the activity of Hardware Trojans and improve the detection efficiency.Compared with the previous method such as inserting Dummy flip-flop or MFTD structure, not only will our method reduce the number of input ports and the consumption of the area, but it will easier to control.
