Introduction
The course is related to the Design for Trust for integrated Circuits (IC). We will first give an overview on the hardware security risk and the roots of trust in ICs. Thereafter, we will cover the various Design for Trust issues, techniques and analyses at various levels, spanning from the manufacturing, chip, netlist, design, and layout levels. Particularly, the manufacturing security includes split manufacturing; the chip level security includes watermarking, fingering, and metering; the netlist security includes logic locking and trojan analysis; the design security includes security primitives (e.g. encryption, random number generators, physical unclonable functions, etc.); and the layout level includes camouflaging.
The Graduate Certificate in Hardware Security Evaluation and Certification is done in collaboration the Cyber Security Agency of Singapore to train and upskill professionals in the industry as well as for professionals who are keen to join this exciting industry
This course is part of:
- Graduate Certificate in Hardware Security Evaluation and Certification
By the end of this course, learner would be able to:
1. Understand the security risks and protection techniques at different levels, spanning from firmware/algorithm, manufacturing, chip level, netlist level, design level, and layout level;
2. Understand the figures-of-merits and parameters to qualify and quantify the security levels at different levels and;
3. Understanding the trade-offs between security and the costs (in terms of performance, power, area, design efforts).
