Leveraging Layout-based Effects for Locking Analog ICs
Muayad J. Aljafar, Florence Azais, Marie-Lise Flottes +1
While various obfuscation methods exist in the digital domain, techniques for protecting Intellectual Property (IP) in the analog domain are mostly overlooked. Understandably, anal…
Multiplierless Design of Very Large Constant Multiplications in Cryptography
Levent Aksoy, Debapriya Basu Roy, Malik Imran +2
This brief addresses the problem of implementing very large constant multiplications by a single variable under the shift-adds architecture using a minimum number of adders/subtrac…
Preventing Distillation-based Attacks on Neural Network IP
Mahdieh Grailoo, Zain Ul Abideen, Mairo Leier +1
Neural networks (NNs) are already deployed in hardware today, becoming valuable intellectual property (IP) as many hours are invested in their training and optimization. Therefore,…
Hardware Obfuscation of Digital FIR Filters
Levent Aksoy, Alexander Hepp, Johanna Baehr +1
A finite impulse response (FIR) filter is a ubiquitous block in digital signal processing applications. Its characteristics are determined by its coefficients, which are the intell…
From FPGAs to Obfuscated eASICs: Design and Security Trade-offs
Zain Ul Abideen, Tiago Diadami Perez, Samuel Pagliarini
Threats associated with the untrusted fabrication of integrated circuits (ICs) are numerous: piracy, overproduction, reverse engineering, hardware trojans, etc. The use of reconfig…
Design Space Exploration of SABER in 65nm ASIC
Malik Imran, Felipe Almeida, Jaan Raik +3
This paper presents a design space exploration for SABER, one of the finalists in NIST's quantum-resistant public-key cryptographic standardization effort. Our design space explora…
