A Multi-Parameter Functional Side Channel Analysis Method For Hardware Trojan Detection In Untrusted Fpga Bitstreams, Christopher William Bell
A Multi-Parameter Functional Side Channel Analysis Method For Hardware Trojan Detection In Untrusted Fpga Bitstreams, Christopher William Bell
USF Tampa Graduate Theses and Dissertations
Hardware Trojan Horses (HTHs or Trojans) are malicious design modifications intended to cause the design to function incorrectly. Globalization of the IC development industry has created new opportunities for rogue agents to compromise a design in such a way. Offshore foundries cannot always be trusted, and the use of trusted foundries is not always practical or economical. There is a pressing need for a method to reliably detect these Trojans, to prevent compromised designs from being put into production.
This thesis proposes a multi-parameter analysis method that is capable of reliably detecting function-altering and performance-degrading Trojans in FPGA bitstreams. It …
