This book provides an overview of current hardware security problems and highlights how these issues can be efficiently addressed using computer-aided design (CAD) tools. Authors are from CAD developers, IP developers, SOC designers as well as SoC verification experts. Readers will gain a comprehensive understanding of SoC security vulnerabilities and how to overcome them, through an efficient combination of proactive countermeasures and a wide variety of CAD solutions.

This book demonstrates the breadth and depth of IP protection through logic locking, considering both attacker/adversary and defender/designer perspectives. The authors draw a semi-chronological picture of the evolution of logic locking during the last decade, gathering and describing all the DO’s and DON’Ts in this approach. They describe simple-to-follow scenarios and guide readers to navigate/identify threat models and design/evaluation flow for further studies. Readers will gain a comprehensive understanding of all fundamentals of logic locking.  

This book provides a comprehensive coverage of System-on-Chip (SoC) post-silicon validation and debug challenges and state-of-the-art solutions with contributions from SoC designers, academic researchers as well as SoC verification experts. The readers will get a clear understanding of the existing debug infrastructure and how they can be effectively utilized to verify and debug SoCs.
