The advent of hardware Trojans is posing an increasing threat on complex integrated circuits. Network-on-Chip, the established communication infrastructure for many core systems-on-chip, are growing in complexity. Integration of third-party components, which are increasingly becoming valuable targets, exposes the surface for attacks through the injection of hardware Trojans. In this paper, we address active attacks on NoCs, and focus on the integrity of transmitted data. Basically, we use network coding for the transmission of data in order to increase efficiency and robustness.
