Quantitative Information Flow for Hardware: Advancing the Attack Landscape. (arXiv:2211.16891v1 [cs.CR])

Security still remains an afterthought in modern Electronic Design Automation
(EDA) tools, which solely focus on enhancing performance and reducing the chip
size. Typically, the security analysis is conducted by hand, leading to
vulnerabilities in the design remaining unnoticed. Security-aware EDA tools
assist the designer in the identification and removal of security threats while
keeping performance and area in mind. State-of-the-art approaches utilize
information flow analysis to spot unintended information leakages in design
structures. However, the classification of such threats …
