Evasive Hardware Trojan through Adversarial Power Trace. (arXiv:2401.02342v1 [cs.CR])

The globalization of the Integrated Circuit (IC) supply chain, driven by
time-to-market and cost considerations, has made ICs vulnerable to hardware
Trojans (HTs). Against this threat, a promising approach is to use Machine
Learning (ML)-based side-channel analysis, which has the advantage of being a
non-intrusive method, along with efficiently detecting HTs under golden
chip-free settings. In this paper, we question the trustworthiness of ML-based
HT detection via side-channel analysis. We introduce a HT obfuscation (HTO)
approach to allow HTs to …
