Abstract

Trojan insertion has been made difficult in modern communications in the recent years, due to extensive research work in the direction to protect Integrated Circuits (ICs). Several Trojan detection techniques have been developed to prevent the destruction caused by malicious insertion of Trojan in physical layer, making the process of Trojan insertion much more difficult. In this paper, we highlight our major findings in terms of innovative Trojan design that can easily evade existing Trojan detection approaches based on side-channel analysis. We propose a design that makes Trojan undetectable for known defense benchmarks and during functional testing. We demonstrate our Trojan model and validate the results on a known defense mechanism. We also present a novel detection mechanism for the same proposed Trojan model. The experimental results are presented using Xilinx Place and Route characteristics, in particular, the Floorplanner tool to identify the Trojan and address such problems.
