This book provides readers with a comprehensive introduction to physical inspection-based approaches for electronics security. The authors explain the principles of physical inspection techniques including invasive, non-invasive and semi-invasive approaches and how they can be used for hardware assurance, from IC to PCB level. Coverage includes a wide variety of topics, from failure analysis and imaging, to testing, machine learning and automation, reverse engineering and attacks, and countermeasures.

Materials for Electronics Security and Assurance reviews the properties of materials that could enable devices that are resistant to tampering and manipulation. It discusses recent advances in materials synthesis and characterization techniques for security applications. Topics addressed include anti-reverse engineering, detection, prevention, track and trace, fingerprinting, obfuscation and how materials could enable these security solutions. The book introduces the opportunities and challenges and provides a clear direction of the requirements for material-based solutions to address electronics security challenges. Materials for Electronics Security and Assurance is suitable for materials scientists and engineers to enable future research directions, current computer and hardware security engineers to enable materials selection, and to inspire cross-collaboration between both communities.
