Hardware Security-present and Future Trends
S S Rekha, A. N. Nagamani · 2019
An Intellectual Property (IP) in Very Large Scale Integrated (VLSI) is a reusable logic unit or functionality or a cell or a layout design that is developed with the creative or innovative idea of licensing to multiple vendors which can be used in their design. Due to globalization of Integrated circuit (IC) design flow, dishonest people in the supply chain can pirate IC's, overbuild IC's, counterfeiting and insert hardware Trojans. Looking into these issues, security of such devices becomes a major challenging job. This paper gives the survey of various methods presented by researchers to secure the innovated design from the third party. The paper is concluded with a need for research in machine learning or deep learning based methodologies for hardware security in IC/IP.
