ECLIPSE: Efficient Cross Layered IP Protection SchemE

Abstract

This program seeks to develop TTLock, a secure and scalable logic locking technique, that thwarts all existing and anticipated attacks. TTLock will be extended to enable protection of state machines, performance-enhancing units and complimentary techniques such as N-variant design, non-binary keys, and FSM monitoring. The risk of having non minimal overhead will be mitigated by security aware synthesis. The risk of nonscalability to large scale designs will be addressed by identifying conservative solutions. The proposed solution will provide provably secure techniques that can prevent against IP piracy, reverse engineering, and overbuilding. It makes Trojan insertion much harder. The project will deliver the ECLIPSE tool which is compatible with the conventional IC design flow and can be readily integrated. It enables cost vs. security optimization and provides cross-layer security approaches.
