This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Integrative Activities program, with a CFDA number of 47.083, provides $515,208 to Prairie View A&M University. The funding supports research to improve detection of malicious hardware alterations in integrated circuits through two complementary approaches. Specifically, the University will analyze circuit delays to detect and locate hardware trojans, develop clock frequency sweeping methods to target trojans despite process variations, and design an on-chip measurement technique to find paths missed by clock sweeping. Additionally, the University will implement various hardware trojans on field programmable gate arrays and develop statistical analysis methods for collected silicon data. The award period is from November 15, 2022 to October 31, 2025. The research aims to increase trust in integrated circuits fabricated offshore through improved post-manufacturing testing prior to electronics system integration.
