On Parametric Hardware Trojans

With the eminence of third party foundry practice, insertion of hardware trojans in ICs is becoming a major threat. Insertion techniques of these hardware trojans are getting easier with sophisticated yet expensive equipment. The same very equipment which was basically used for IC surgeries is used for inserting hardware trojans. This research brings in focus the stealthiest trojans of the decade - Parametric Hardware Trojans (PHTs). It also proposes a taxonomy to address PHTs. Related detection techniques for PHTs are also discussed and Side Channel Analysis based detection model is suggested as the most effective detecting techniques against PHTs. The efficiency of the proposed model is also checked through FPGA based simulation of PHTs.
