Digital Twin for Secure Semiconductor Lifecycle Management: Prospects and Applications. (arXiv:2205.10962v2 [cs.CR] UPDATED)

The expansive globalization of the semiconductor supply chain has introduced
numerous untrusted entities into different stages of a device's lifecycle. To
make matters worse, the increase complexity in the design as well as aggressive
time to market requirements of the newer generation of integrated circuits can
lead either designers to unintentionally introduce security vulnerabilities or
verification engineers to fail in detecting them earlier in the design
lifecycle. These overlooked or undetected vulnerabilities can be exploited by
malicious entities in subsequent …
