Securing Computer Hardware Using 3D Integrated Circuit (IC) Technology and Split Manufacturing for Obfuscation.
free download
Abstract The fabrication of digital Integrated Circuits (ICs) is increasingly outsourced. Given this trend, security is recognized as an important issue. The threat agent is an attacker at the IC foundry that has information about the circuit and inserts covert, malicious circuitry. The

Integrated Circuit (IC) Decamouflaging: Reverse Engineering Camouflaged ICs within Minutes.
free download
AbstractCircuit camouflaging is a recently proposed defense mechanism to protect digital integrated circuits (ICs) from reverse engineering attacks by using camouflaged gates, ie, logic gates whose functionality cannot be precisely determined by the attacker. Recent work

E1. 4 Digital integrated circuit implementations

Abstract This section considers some of the alternative approaches towards modeling biological functions by digital circuits. It starts by introducing some circuit complexity issues and arguing that there is considerable computational and physiological justification that Abstract A custom CMOS integrated circuit has been designed, prototyped, and evaluated for PET tomograph front-end applications. The integrated circuit reduces the size, cost, and power consumption of existing PET front-end circuits by over a factor of two. The integrated
