Hardware Trojans: A State of the Art

Abstract

Time to market demand has forced integrated circuit design, manufacturing and testing to be done at different places across globe. This approach has led to numerous security concerns like overbuilding of chips from foundries, IP protection, counterfeiting and hardware Trojans. In this work, we focus on hardware Trojans in chips. In the process of finding the answer to above mentioned security issues, we present literature survey, interim results and a holistic view on possible future work. We also present the case study of hardware Trojans.
