The ever-increasing demand for sophisticated cyberphysical systems (CPS), combined with the fabless model, led to vulnerability exploits in the IC supply chain, especially the insertion of hardware Trojans (HTs). The HTs are malicious modifications made to an authentic design to disrupt the functioning of the integrated circuits (ICs). In this work, we present a survey of the state-of-the-art HT designs focusing on the Trojan design, the risk level in the supply chain, and the targeted platform, followed by a discussion based on our observations. We categorize the HT designs based on the targeted platforms such as ML accelerators, IoT devices, FPGAs, ASICs, memory devices, CPU, and Cryptographic cores.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
