Protection Against Hardware Trojan Attacks: Towards a Comprehensive Solution

With the increasing disintegration of the design and manufacturing chain of our microelectronic products, we should not only worry about including unintentional, unwanted hardware features (“bugs”), but also about including intentional malicious hardware features: “Trojan Horses,”which act as spies or terrorists. This article provides an overview of hardware Trojans and countermeasures.
