NNgSAT: Neural Network guided SAT Attack on Logic Locked Complex Structures

Kimia Zamiri Azar, Hadi Mardani Kamali, Houman Homayoun +1

The globalization of the IC supply chain has raised many security threats, especially when untrusted parties are involved. This has created a demand for a dependable logic obfuscat…

InterLock: An Intercorrelated Logic and Routing Locking

Hadi Mardani Kamali, Kimia Zamiri Azar, Houman Homayoun +1

In this paper, we propose a canonical prune-and-SAT (CP&SAT) attack for breaking state-of-the-art routing-based obfuscation techniques. In the CP&SAT attack, we first encode the ke…

SCRAMBLE: The State, Connectivity and Routing Augmentation Model for Building Logic Encryption

Hadi Mardani Kamali, Kimia Zamiri Azar, Houman Homayoun +1

In this paper, we introduce SCRAMBLE, as a novel logic locking solution for sequential circuits while the access to the scan chain is restricted. The SCRAMBLE could be used to lock…

On Designing Secure and Robust Scan Chain for Protecting Obfuscated Logic

Hadi Mardani Kamali, Kimia Zamiri Azar, Houman Homayoun +1

In this paper, we assess the security and testability of the state-of-the-art design-for-security (DFS) architectures in the presence of scan-chain locking/obfuscation, a group of…
