Reseach on hardware Trojan
Hardware Trojans are malicious circuits that are secretly inserted into IC chips and circuit boards. They have received widespread attention when news about concerns about contamination into LSIs for 5G is taken up. The goal of the research is...
Reserch on NAM (Nano-artifact Metrics)
The distribution of counterfeit products or parts with high added value causes disruption to the supply chain, such as disadvantages for legitimate vendors and users. If you can create a unique tag which is physically difficult to create the same thing, you...
Research on evaluation techniques for detecting LSI vulnerabilities
In today's information society, not only information terminals such as smart phones and computers, but also cars, machine tools in factories, and many other things are electrically controlled. There is a growing concern about the risk of leakage of confidential information and malfunction of these electronic...
