METHODS AND CIRCUITS FOR THWARTING SEMI-INVASIVE AND NON-INVASIVE INTEGRATED CIRCUIT SECURITY ATTACKS

摘要

Methods and systems are provided for thwarting semi-invasive and non-invasive security attacks on an integrated circuit. The methods and systems generally make reverse engineering, reconfiguration, decryption, observation, or any combination thereof, of the internal operations of the integrated circuit substantially more difficult if not impossible without damaging the integrated circuit.
