Hardware Supply Chain Security

This book presents a new threat modelling approach that specifically target hardware supply chain, covering security risks throughout the lifecycle of an electronic system. Afterword's the book  presents a case study on a new combined security attack, which combines two forms of attack's mechanisms, from two different stages of the IC supply chain, more specifically the attack target the newly developed light cipher (Ascon) and demonstrates how it can be broken easily, when its implementation is compromised with a hardware Trojan.  The book also discusses emerging countermeasures, including anti-counterfeit design techniques for resources constrained devices and anomaly detection methods for embedded systems.

The book will educate the readers on the security challenges in this area and the emerging countermeasures, in particular:

• It presents a new threat modelling approach, developed specifically for the hardware supply chain;
• It provides a systematic security analysis of the IC supply chain, which includes the latest attacks, countermeasures and security validation techniques;
• It presents a detailed case study of new forms of threats that combine multiple attack's vectors, supported by FPGA demonstration and experimental analysis;
• It provides an in-depth discussion of emerging solutions to protect lightweight electronics devices from counterfeiting;
• It presents the state-of-the-art machine learning techniques that allows the detection of anomalous behaviors of electronic systems.
