Appl. No.:

12/623216

Assignee:

DAFCA, INC. - Framingham MA

International Classification:

H04L 9/32
G01S 19/42

US Classification:

713179, 34235725

Abstract:

Exemplary embodiments provide methods and systems of authenticating an integrated circuit (IC). The manufacturing location of an IC is authenticated by storing in the IC a local signature derived from a GPS signal that was received at the manufacturing location at the time of manufacture. A remote signature is derived from a GPS signal that was received at a remote site nearly simultaneously as the reception of the GPS signal at the manufacturing location. The local signature is compared to the remote signature at an authentication site to determine the authenticity of the IC.

International Classification:

G06F 21/55

Abstract:

A method and system for analysis of a facility may include providing an emulation host system, first generating a golden circuit model on the emulation host system, first inserting a first hardware trojan model, first emulating operation of the golden circuit model, and second emulating operation of the first hardware trojan model. A facility may include a trojan instrument facility having a trojan detection instrument comparing logic circuit output against a threshold for detecting hardware trojan activity, and outputting alert data, and in relation to opening one of a plurality of scannable access points, a scannable register is inserted into an active scan chain with an associated instrument interface.
