New Course for Spring 2016-EE Technical Elective EEL4930/5934

Syllabus for EEL 4930/5934

Introduction to Hardware Security and Trust, 

Spring 2016

    

1. Catalog Description

Fundamentals of hardware security and trust for integrated circuits. Cryptographic hardware, invasive and non-invasive attacks, side-channel attacks, physically unclonable functions (PUFs), true random number generation (TRNG). watermarking of Intellectual Property (IP) blocks, FPGA security, counterfeit detection, hardware Trojan detection and prevention in IP cores and integrated circuits. Lecture. Credits 3.

2. Pre-requisites

 EEL4712C Digital Design

3. Course Objectives

This course will cover the following topics: Cryptographic processor and processing overhead analysis, physical and invasive attacks, side-channel attacks, physically unclonable functions, hardware-based true random number generators, watermarking of Intellectual Property (IP) blocks, FPGA security, passive and active metering for prevention of piracy, access control, hardware Trojan detection and isolation in IP cores and integrated circuits (ICs). The course is self contained. Background on digital design would be sufficient. Introductory lectures will cover basic background on cryptography, authentication, secret sharing, VLSI design, test and verification. The main goals for this course are: 

·  Learning the state-of-the-art security methods and devices

·  Integration of security as a design metric, not as an afterthought

·  Protection of the design intellectual property against piracy and tampering

·  Better understanding of attacks and providing countermeasures against them

·  Detection and isolation of hardware Trojans

·  Counterfeit Electronics: Detection and Prevention

4. Contribution of course to meeting ABET professions Component

One semester of engineering topics (e.g., Hardware Security Fundamental and Practice-oriented Solutions)

5. Relationship of course to ABET program outcomes

- an ability to apply knowledge of mathematics, science, and engineering 

- an understanding of professional and ethical responsibility

- a recognition of the need for, and an ability to engage in life-long learning

- a knowledge of contemporary issues

- an ability to use the techniques, skills, and modern engineering tools necessary for engineering

15. Attendance and Expectations

a. Format: The course is comprised of weekly lectures, 3-4 modules, student presentation module, and a final project.

Students must submit individual work individually on each module and as a team of 3 on final project.  You are encouraged to work together on homework assignments and share ideas on lab assignments.  However you are not allowed to copy or duplicate any lab material (code, drawings, etc.) from another student.  This work will be considered cheating and will be dealt with in a severe manner.  See Section 19 on Honesty Policy.

It is the student’s responsibility to return all FGPA boards by the time of project demonstration.
