INTRODUCTION
Modern electronic systems are complex, and economics dictate that the design, manufacturing, testing, integration and deployment of Application Specific Integrated Circuits (ASICs), System on Chips (SoCs) and Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) span companies and countries. Security and trust in this diverse landscape of 3rd party IP providers, processor vendors, SoC integrators and fabrication facilities, is both challenging and introduces security risks. There are numerous obstacles in building secure systems including but not limited to complex supply chains, reverse engineering, counterfeiting, physical tampering and side-channel attacks.
Security vulnerabilities can be introduced throughout the design lifecycle
