This paper proposes a generic approach for providing enhanced security to communication systems which encode their data for reliability before encrypting it through a stream cipher for security. We call this counter-intuitive technique the…

The security of logic locking has been called into question by various attacks, especially a Boolean satisfiability (SAT) based attack, that exploits scan access in a working chip. Among other techniques, a robust design-for-security (DFS)…

FPGAs are going mainstream. Major companies that were not traditionally FPGA-focused are now seeking ways to exploit the benefits of reconfigurable technology and provide it to their customers. In order to do so, a debug ecosystem that…

Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) are more prone to be affected by transient faults in presence of radiation and other environmental hazards compared to Application Specific Integrated Circuits (ASICs). Hence, error mitigation and…

In response to the increasing volume and sensitivity of data, traditional centralized computing models face challenges, such as data security breaches and regulatory hurdles. Federated Computing (FC) addresses these concerns by enabling…

Protecting integrated circuits (ICs) from piracy and theft throughout their lifecycle is a persistent and complex challenge. In order to safeguard against illicit piracy attacks, this work proposes a novel framework utilizing Non-Fungible…

A wiretap protocol is a pair of randomized encoding and decoding functions such that knowledge of a bounded fraction of the encoding of a message reveals essentially no information about the message, while knowledge of the entire encoding…

Unlike other accelerators, FPGAs are capable of supporting cache coherency, thereby turning them into a more powerful architectural option than just a peripheral accelerator. However, most existing deployments of FPGAs are either non-cache…

Protection of information against electromagnetic eavesdropping is an important issue. Information may be derivable from the shape of an unintended electromagnetic signal. The resulting electromagnetic emanations can be correlated with…

We consider Fair Principal Component Analysis (FPCA) and search for a low dimensional subspace that spans multiple target vectors in a fair manner. FPCA is defined as a non-concave maximization of the worst projected target norm within a…

Modern electronic systems become evermore complex, yet remain modular, with integrated circuits (ICs) acting as versatile hardware components at their heart. Electronic design automation (EDA) for ICs has focused traditionally on power,…
