The proposed solution takes the form of an automated toolkit that utilizes contactless, side-channel measurements to drive an AI pipeline that has been designed to detect the presence of HW Trojans. The solution does not require a golden value for the design-under test. It operates on fully packaged chips and can even automatically scan an entire PCB.
Benefit: The proposed solution is expected to further the system assurance/supply-chain risk management field through the creation of an automated solution for detecting the presence of malicious circuits in ICs. The project is an ideal fit for BlueRISC and will provide a strong opportunity to not only target government programs but to also transition the technology to the commercial sector given the broad applicability of the technology.
