Split Chip Design for Obfuscation and IC Trust
Abstract
This program will involve thorough vetting of existing obfuscation techniques for 14/16nm and Propose combinations of obfuscation techniques together with Split Chip, including system intent & communication that is scrambled, possibly encrypted, and dummy modules. It will also explore trade offs in the security and design spaces. Several known obfuscation techniques are naïve or impractical for real designs that DARPA has interest in. We intend to narrow the scope of obfuscation techniques such that DARPA can have a reference for future design plans. The preliminary methodology developed within the context of this study can guide DARPA efforts towards building a robust tool that will do semi automatic analysis of Split Chip scenarios and the incurring performance vs security trade offs.
