Elect Engr & Computer Science - Intro Hardware Security&Trust

Catalog description

This course will investigate various security and trust issues related to integrated circuits and systems during their design and manufacturing process, as well as during field operation. A wide range of threats including piracy, reverse engineering, hardware Trojan insertion, side-channel attack, and various invasive non-invasive attacks will be introduced. Potential hardware and software-based countermeasures to detect and prevent these attacks will be studied. Implementation of design-time solutions like physically unclonable functions (PUFs), true random number generator (TRNG), security monitors, hardware obfuscation, and many others will be covered. Prerequisite: EECS 388 and upper-level EECS eligibility.
