Title:
A Black Box Attack Using Side Channel Analysis and Hardware Trojans

Authors: Raja Adhithan Radhakrishnan

Abstract:

The emergence of hardware trojans as significant threats in
various aspects of hardware design, including Firmware, open-source IP,
and PCB design, has raised serious concerns. Simultaneously, AI technologies have been employed to simplify the complexity of Side Channel Analysis (SCA) attacks. Due to the increasing risk posed by these
threats, it becomes essential to test hardware by considering all possible
attack vectors. This paper aims to propose a black box attack using side
channel analysis with the aid of hardware trojan insertion. The objective
is to emphasize the necessity of side channel-based testing to defend
against such attacks. The proposed attack can be executed in FPGA,
ASIC, and microcontroller designs. The paper is primarily focused on
Verilog design based hardware trojan insertion, and a small example
demonstration is provided to illustrate this attack.
