Hardware Trojans recently emerged as a serious issue for computer systems, especially for those used in critical applications such as medical or military. Trojan proposed so far can affect the reliability of a device in various ways. Proposed effects range from the leakage of secret information to the complete malfunctioning of the device. A crucial point for securing the overall operation of a device is to guarantee the absence of hardware Trojans. In this paper, we survey several techniques for detecting malicious modification of circuit introduced at different phases of the design flow. We also highlight their capabilities limitations in thwarting hardware Trojans.

Mobile devices have been pervading many aspects of our lives, including applications that are critical and deal with sensitive data. Together with existing features, designers are required to add cryptographic primitives capable of guaranteeing privacy of the users and security of the operations. However, for pervasive mobile devices, the simple addition of cryptographic capabilities is not sufficient.In this paper, we discuss, from the hardware prospective, three main security challenges faced by designers while designing mobile devices: physical attacks, hardware Trojans, and software malware. For the first ones, we report mitigation techniques which can be already applied during the hardware design flow. For the last one, which is mainly related to software, we discuss its potential hardware implications.

More and more manufacturers outsource parts of the design and fabrication of integrated circuits (ICs) for cost reduction. Recent publications show that such outsourcing can pose serious threats to governments and corporations, as they lose control of the development process. Until now, the threat of hardware Trojans is mostly considered during fabrication. Third party intellectual properties (IPs) are also gaining importance as companies wish to reduce costs and shorten the timeto-market. Through this study, the authors argue that the threat of Trojans is spread throughout the whole IC development chain. They give a survey of both hardware Trojan insertion possibilities and detection techniques. Furthermore, they identify the key vulnerabilities at each stage of IC development and describe costs of hardware Trojan insertion and detection. This way, the threat level based on feasibility of Trojan insertion and the practicability of Trojan detection techniques is evaluated. Lately, detection techniques address the issue of including third party IP. However, those techniques are not sufficient and need more research to effectively protect the design. In this way, the authors' analysis provides a solid base to identify the issues during IC development, which should be addressed with higher priority by all entities involved in the IC development.
