Selected articles on Hardware Security and Trust:

A Survey of Hardware Trojan Taxonomy and Detection
Today's integrated circuits are vulnerable to hardware Trojans, malicious alterations to the circuit, either during design or fabrication. Read a classification of hardware Trojans and a survey of published techniques for Trojan detection. More »

Hardware Trojans in Wireless Cryptographic ICs
Hardware Trojans in wireless cryptographic ICs are designed to leak secret information through the wireless channel. Learn about the challenges of detecting such Trojans and a proposed statistical analysis of side-channel signals that could help.

Preventing IC Piracy Using Reconfigurable Logic Barriers
Hardware metering to prevent IC piracy is a challenging and important problem. This proposed combinational locking scheme, based on intelligent placement of the barriers throughout the design, aims to maximize the barriers' effectiveness and to minimize overhead. More »

Design Methods for Security and Trust
Security and trust are often an afterthought in the design of embedded computers, but should be a first-order concern. Learn about a methodology for the design of secure and trusted electronic embedded systems. More »

Learn how to use Clojure, a relatively new but robust Lisp implementation on the Java Virtual Machine, to create and deploy an application on the Google App Engine platform. More »

Least-Cost Avoiders in Online Fraud and Abuse
Harvard Business School's Ben Edelman thinks consumers browsing online need as much protection as those reading a newspaper or visiting a retail store—and outlines a proposal to achieve that. More »

Story Time for the 21st Century
An interactive book-reading system couples videoconferencing with paper books and interactive content to help grandparents read with their grandchildren over the Internet. More »

On-Chip Networks: Two Sides of the Same Coin
As ICs evolve from computation- to communication-based design, we need to abandon the old habit of modeling the on-chip network as a static graph. More »

Programming Multicores: Do Applications Programmers Need to Write Explicitly Parallel Programs?
