This work addresses security for hardware systems vulnerable to physical tampering, but it appears incremental as it focuses on modeling an existing patented circuit.
The paper tackled the problem of protecting against physical attacks like wire cutting or short-circuits by modeling a patented asynchronous circuit at various abstraction levels, with results demonstrating its good resistance to such attacks.
Asynchronous circuits have several advantages for security applications, in particular their good resistance to attacks. In this paper, we report on experiments with modeling, at various abstraction levels, a patented asynchronous circuit for detecting physical attacks, such as cutting wires or producing short-circuits.
