Abstract
Computer-aided design (CAD) tools traditionally optimize "only'' for power, performance, and area (PPA). However, given the wide range of hardware-security threats that have emerged, future CAD flows must also incorporate techniques for designing secure and trustworthy integrated circuits (ICs). This is because threats that are not addressed during design time will inevitably be exploited in the field, where system vulnerabilities induced by ICs are almost impossible to fix. However, there is currently little experience for designing secure ICs within the CAD community.
