Unauthentic IC Countermeasures for Future Integrity of the Semiconductor Supply Chain
Pallavi Sugantha Ebenezer, Degang J. Chen, R.L. Geiger · 2018
A two-level classification of unauthentic ICs into counterfeits and Trojan-bearing ICs is discussed that separates perpetuators driven by financial incentives from those driven by a disruptive payload goal. A method is discussed for practically introducing fingerprints into any IC that eliminates incentives for the more prevalent counterfeit IC problem.
