A Comprehensive Survey on Challenges and New directions in Hardware Security

Abstract

In today’s world obstructing hardware devices from non-authorized individuals has become rigorous particularly during the last few decades because of the internationalization of the semiconductor supply chain and widespread network connectivity of electronic equipment. In recent times computing devices have achieved a lot of success, and it has become a magnetic target surface, where the attackers hijack control flow, breach system core of trust, and steal sensitive information by fooling automated learners. To counter these unauthorized individuals from getting access to this sensitive information, security professionals are making Herculean efforts by developing various safeguarding tactics and crafting tools to detect device vulnerability and by taking multiple measures to make hardware devices more invulnerable. In this article, an overview of hardware security and trust from the perspectives of threats, countermeasures, and design tools are introduced. By, bringing forward the most up-to-date findings in hardware security research and development, the researchers strive to inspire hardware designers and electronic automation developers to contemplate the new hurdles and possibilities.
