Mahendra Rathor, Girraj Prasad Rathor
Abstract
IP protection is extremely important due to distributed hardware development. Signature-based IP protection provides a useful approach for the same. In this article, the authors propose a technique using handwritten signatures to be used as watermarks for protecting hardware.
