Abstract:

Analysis of intellectual property for malicious functionality often requires understanding of a localized portion in an implemented design to uncover vulnerabilities and hidden functions capable of causing catastrophic effects. Here, we present an approach that has evolved from a manual processes into automation. Automated circuit grouping assembles related circuitry into hierarchical blocks of functions that can be independently analyzed.
