A Primer on Hardware Security: Models, Methods, and Metrics

Masoud Rostami, Farinaz Koushanfar, Ramesh Karri

Short summary

This paper systematizes hardware security by classifying threat models, defenses, and evaluation metrics for integrated circuit (IC) production vulnerabilities.

AI-generated from the title and abstract; the full text is not read.

Key points

  • IC production supply chains are vulnerable due to their multinational, distributed, and multistep nature.
  • Current hardware security literature uses ad hoc threat models, defenses, and metrics.
  • This paper provides a systematic classification of threat models in hardware security.
  • It surveys state-of-the-art defenses against hardware-based attacks.
  • Evaluation metrics for hardware security solutions are also classified.

Abstract

The multinational, distributed, and multistep nature of integrated circuit (IC) production supply chain has introduced hardware-based vulnerabilities. Existing literature in hardware security assumes ad hoc threat models, defenses, and metrics for evaluation, making it difficult to analyze and compare alternate solutions. This paper systematizes the current knowledge in this emerging field, including a classification of threat models, state-of-the-art defenses, and evaluation metrics for important hardware-based attacks.
