Abstract

Possibility of Hardware Trojans (HT) being present in SOCs designed by integrating hundreds of third party IP (3PIP) cores provided by different vendors is well documented. Our focus in this paper is to highlight the vulnerability of such SOCs to HTs. We achieve this by demonstrating a novel approach to the design of a simple and extremely small footprint HT. We present a detailed discussion to demonstrate that HaTCh, one of the latest and best HT detection technique, will fail to detect our Trojan. The paper concludes by highlighting the vulnerabilities of SOCs designed with 3PIP cores and need for trusted IP cores.
