The
hardware Trojan detection method and
system based on
low activity and
low observation node
joint analysis belong to the technical field of
integrated circuit security, and solve the problem of how to improve the accuracy of identifying high-concealment
hardware Trojan; the gate-level
netlist is abstracted into a
signal propagation
directed graph, the nodes in the
low activity candidate trigger node set are taken as the starting nodes, the nodes in the
low observation candidate load node set are taken as the target nodes, the effective
signal propagation path from the starting node to the target node is searched in the
directed graph, and if the effective
signal propagation path exists, it is determined as a high-risk
hardware Trojan potential link; the application proposes a method for identifying high-concealment hardware Trojan potential signal link based on gate-level
netlist static analysis, which does not depend on the golden
reference model, and does not need to know the Trojan feature
library, and is especially suitable for third-party IP core access security detection,
backdoor review and logic credibility
verification scenes.
