Component Hiding Using Identification And Boundary Blurring Techniques, James D. Parham Jr.
Component Hiding Using Identification And Boundary Blurring Techniques, James D. Parham Jr.
Theses and Dissertations
Protecting software from adversarial attacks is extremely important for DoD technologies. When systems are compromised, the possibility exists for recovery costing millions of dollars and countless labor hours. Circuits implemented on embedded systems utilizing FPGA technology are the result of downloading software for instantiating circuits with specific functions or components. We consider the problem of component hiding a form of software protection. Component identification is a well studied problem. However, we use component identification as a metric for driving the cost of reverse engineering to an unreasonable level. We contribute to protection of software and circuitry by implementing a Java …
