Robust, Low-Cost, and Accurate Detection of Recycled Integrated Circuits (ICs) using Digital Signatures

Abstract

The continuous growth of counterfeit integrated circuits (ICs) in the electronic components supply chain calls for an immediate solution. This project addresses trustworthy electronics by developing an efficient method for the detection of recycled ICs, thereby enhancing the safety and security of US cyber infrastructure. The core of the proposed on-chip structure utilizes a ring oscillator and a small non-volatile memory (NVM). The on-chip structure stores the RO frequency, the measurement conditions, and a digital signature in the NVM.
