SALSy: Security-Aware Layout Synthesis. (arXiv:2308.06201v1 [cs.CR])

Integrated Circuits (ICs) are the target of diverse attacks during their
lifetime. Fabrication-time attacks, such as the insertion of Hardware Trojans,
can give an adversary access to privileged data and/or the means to corrupt the
IC's internal computation. Post-fabrication attacks, where the end-user takes a
malicious role, also attempt to obtain privileged information through means
such as fault injection and probing. Taking these threats into account and at
the same time, this paper proposes a methodology for Security-Aware Layout
Synthesis …
