This has created a new opening for cyber-attacks: when a firm sends out a design to be manufactured\, the trustworthiness of the manufac tured IC can no longer be guaranteed. It is possible to insert hardware Tr ojans directly into a chip during the design and manufacturing process. Th ese hardware Trojans can destroy a chip\, reduce performance or even leak sensitive data. For many in the information assurance arena confidentialit y is paramount\, so the possibility of a hardware Trojan leaking sensitive data is of greatest concern. In conjunction with its partners from academ ia\, the U.S. Air Force has patented and patent-pending inventions for def ending against data-leakage hardware Trojans in 2 forms: 1) combinational and 2) sequential logic. Both forms defeat data leakage through a randomiz ed encoding and split manufacturing scheme. This presentation will focus o n the combinational method (the sequential version is similar). Experiment al work revealed the power and area overheads associated with these techni ques\; yet\, the user’s risk calculus can be such that these overheads b ecome acceptable – especially when there is only a 3% decrease in perfor mance.\n\nPhoto courtesy: [H.
