Abstract
Third-party IP cores, outsourcing of IC fabrication to untrusted foundries, have increased the vulnerabilities in IC’s and reduced the trust factor of a designer on the manufactured chips. These vulnerabilities are a consequence of malicious modifications of the original design, which have the potential to cause catastrophic damage to the system which uses these IC’s. IoT networks require the least vulnerable and highly trustworthy IC’s. We present a detailed study of such malicious insertions. Next, we discuss the methods for their identification and we also propose some countermeasures from a VLSI aspect.
