Cyber Security in Logic Design and Digital Systems. 3 credits

Catalog description

This course provides basic cyber security concepts in logic design and digital systems. Topics covered include an overview of digital concepts, coding conversion and its applications in digital systems, programmable logic devices, and memory expansion basics. An introduction to microprocessors and digital signal processing will be presented. Integrated circuits (ICs) technologies will be discussed. Security issues related to logic design, including reverse engineering, IC counterfeiting, and malicious tampering, will be addressed. Methodologies for logic design security regarding logic locking in which only authorized persons can access the circuit’s original functionality will be handled. Design projects using simulation and hardware implementation based on Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) boards will be presented. Offered by Cyber Security Engineering . Limited to three attempts.
