Reversing the Clock: Layout-Aware Recovery of Design Intent from Clock Distribution Networks
Sascha Tommasone, Zehra Karadağ, Christopher Pawlowicz +6
Hardware reverse engineering supports competitive analysis and hardware assurance by recovering information about an integrated circuit (IC) from its physical implementation. While…
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…
Hardware Trojans from Invisible Inversions: On the Trojanizability of Standard Cell Libraries
Kolja Dorschel, René Walendy, Lukas Plätz +3
At S&P 2023, Puschner et al. made a valuable dataset for hardware Trojan detection research publicly available. It contains a complete set of Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) ima…
SoK: From Silicon to Netlist and Beyond Two Decades of Hardware Reverse Engineering Research

"Make the Voodoo Box Go Bleep Bloop:" Exploring End Users' Understanding and Information Needs Regarding Microchips
Julian Speith, Steffen Becker, Timo Speith +4
Microchips are fundamental components of modern electronic devices, yet they remain opaque to the users who rely on them daily. This opacity, compounded by the complexity of global…
Patching FPGAs: The Security Implications of Bitstream Modifications
Endres Puschner, Maik Ender, Steffen Becker +1
Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) are known for their reprogrammability that allows for post-manufacture circuitry changes. Nowadays, they are integral to a variety of systems…
An Evidence-Based Curriculum Initiative for Hardware Reverse Engineering Education
René Walendy, Markus Weber, Steffen Becker +2
The increasing importance of supply chain security for digital devices -- from consumer electronics to critical infrastructure -- has created a high demand for skilled cybersecurit…
