Designing a Hardware Reverse Engineering Course: Lessons from Eight Years in a Rapidly Evolving Tech Domain
Zehra Karadağ, René Walendy, Carina Wiesen +3
Integrated Circuits (ICs) are omnipresent, yet their globalized manufacturing process remains vulnerable to supply chain threats. Hardware Reverse Engineering (HRE) is essential fo…
I see an IC: A Mixed-Methods Approach to Study Human Problem-Solving Processes in Hardware Reverse Engineering
René Walendy, Markus Weber, Jingjie Li +7
Trust in digital systems depends on secure hardware, often assured through Hardware Reverse Engineering (HRE). This work develops methods for investigating human problem-solving pr…
REVERSIM: An Open-Source Environment for the Controlled Study of Human Aspects in Hardware Reverse Engineering
Steffen Becker, René Walendy, Markus Weber +3
Hardware Reverse Engineering (HRE) is a technique for analyzing integrated circuits. Experts employ HRE for security-critical tasks, like detecting Trojans or intellectual property…
An Exploratory Study of Hardware Reverse Engineering Technical and Cognitive Processes
Steffen Becker, Carina Wiesen, Nils Albartus +2
Understanding the internals of Integrated Circuits (ICs), referred to as Hardware Reverse Engineering (HRE), is of interest to both legitimate and malicious parties. HRE is a compl…
Promoting the Acquisition of Hardware Reverse Engineering Skills
Carina Wiesen, Steffen Becker, Nils Albartus Christof Paar +1
This full research paper focuses on skill acquisition in Hardware Reverse Engineering (HRE) - an important field of cyber security. HRE is a prevalent technique routinely employed…
Towards Cognitive Obfuscation: Impeding Hardware Reverse Engineering Based on Psychological Insights
Carina Wiesen, Nils Albartus, Max Hoffmann +5
In contrast to software reverse engineering, there are hardly any tools available that support hardware reversing. Therefore, the reversing process is conducted by human analysts c…
Teaching Hardware Reverse Engineering: Educational Guidelines and Practical Insights
Carina Wiesen, Steffen Becker, Marc Fyrbiak +4
Since underlying hardware components form the basis of trust in virtually any computing system, security failures in hardware pose a devastating threat to our daily lives. Hardware…
