Technical Perspective: A Gloomy Look at the Integrity of Hardware
"Exploiting the Analog Properties of Digital Circuits for Malicious Hardware," by Kaiyuan Yang, et al., assumes semiconductor foundries (and others in chip fabrication) can be malicious, modifying designs to produce devices that can later be used for malice.
Exploiting the Analog Properties of Digital Circuits For Malicious Hardware
We show how a fabrication-time attacker can leverage analog circuits to create a hardware attack that is small and stealthy.
