“…Charles et al [23] talks about snooping attack when NoC is malicious which uses similar threat model as [7] with the exception of not using covert channels. Similar threat models are explored in [71,82] where there is a malicious router snooping packets inside NoC. Hussain and Guo [44] also talks about packet leaks in NoC where the NoC is a third-party IP.…”

The advancement of manufacturing technologies has enabled the integration of more intellectual property (IP) cores on the same system-on-chip (SoC). Scalable and high throughput on-chip communication architecture has become a vital component in today's SoCs. Diverse technologies such as electrical, wireless, optical, and hybrid are available for on-chip communication with different architectures supporting them. Security of the on-chip communication is crucial because exploiting any vulnerability would be a goldmine for an attacker. In this survey, we provide a comprehensive review of threat models, attacks and countermeasures over diverse on-chip communication technologies as well as sophisticated architectures.CCS Concepts: • Hardware → Network on chip; • Security and privacy → Hardware security implementation.

“…They use encryption of initialization vector and counter to generate unique key for encryption. A lightweight encryption scheme that utilizes two basic concepts of chaffing and winnowing [66] and all-or-nothing transform [65] is proposed by Weerasena et al [82]. All-ornothing transform has a lightweight quasi-group based implementation.…”

Network-on-Chip (NoC) is widely used to facilitate communication between components in sophisticated System-on-Chip (SoC) designs. Security of the on-chip communication is crucial because exploiting any vulnerability in shared NoC would be a goldmine for an attacker that puts the entire computing infrastructure at risk. We investigate the security strength of existing anonymous routing protocols in NoC architectures, making two pivotal contributions. Firstly, we develop and perform a machine learning (ML)-based flow correlation attack on existing anonymous routing techniques in Network-on-Chip (NoC) systems, revealing that they provide only packet-level anonymity. Secondly, we propose a novel, lightweight anonymous routing protocol featuring outbound traffic tunneling and traffic obfuscation. This protocol is designed to provide robust defense against ML-based flow correlation attacks, ensuring both packet-level and flow-level anonymity. Experimental evaluation using both real and synthetic traffic demonstrates that our proposed attack successfully deanonymizes state-of-the-art anonymous routing in NoC architectures with high accuracy (up to 99%) for diverse traffic patterns. It also reveals that our lightweight anonymous routing protocol can defend against ML-based attacks with minor hardware and performance overhead.
