The convergence of IT systems, data networks (including but not limited to the Internet) and ubiquitous embedded devices within the cyber-physical system paradigm has led to the emergence of new security threats associated with the system hardware. Manipulating the hardware components that implement security functions can compromise system integrity, provide unauthorized access to protected data, and endanger intellectual property. Addressing these vulnerabilities is essential in order to prevent the hardware from becoming the weak spot of today’s systems. At least a basic knowledge of hardware security and trust issues is of importance to all system designers. Starting with (necessary) basics on cryptography, authentication, secret sharing, VLSI design, test and verification the course will provide an introduction to hardware security and trust covering the following topics: physical and invasive attacks, side-channel attacks, physically unclonable functions, hardware-based true random number generators, watermarking of Intellectual Property (IP) blocks, FPGA security, passive and active metering for prevention of piracy, access control, hardware Trojan detection and isolation in IP cores and integrated circuits (ICs). |
