Fundamental concepts, foundations & methodologies for the design of trustworthy circuits including protection of the hardware platform against tampering and the unauthorized extraction of information. Physical cloning of cryptographic VLSI circuits. Lecture topics include message authentication codes, entropy & randomness, modern cryptography, data privacy, secret sharing, hardware-centric design of AES and Keccak SHA, Physically hard for yoU to clone Functions (PUFs), hardware and software vulnerabilities, and reverse engineering. Individual laboratories involve the use of an FPGA board and CAD tools.
