Hardware Trojans represent malicious circuitry incorporated within modern ICs which can potentially steal sensitive information and/or render the chip useless. We have developed a host of techniques for detection and mitigation of hardware Trojans. Some of these techniques rely on post silicon reverse engineering based approaches. Others use runtime measurements of signals such as temperature to detect anomalies stemming from Trojan activity.
