Logic and Reduction Operation based Hardware Trojans in Digital Design

Abstract

In this paper, we will demonstrate Hardware Trojan Attacks on four different digital designs implemented on FPGA. The hardware trojan is activated based on special logical and reduction-based operations on vectors which makes the trojan-activity as silent and effective as possible. In this paper, we have introduced 5 novel trojan attack methodologies.
