Secure VLSI Design: Countermeasures against Hardware Trojans and Side-Channel Attacks

Abstract

To counter the growing risks to the integrity of integrated circuits (ICs) from side-channel assaults and hardware Trojans, secure VLSI design is essential. This research aims to understand better how to defend against these attacks by strengthening the security posture of VLSI-based systems. Using a thorough methodology, the study combines rigorous validation procedures, practical implementation strategies, and early integration strategies to create robust security measures. Key conclusions emphasize the significance of proactively integrating countermeasures, utilizing reliable hardware modules, and implementing appropriate validation procedures to manage risks successfully. The value of industry collaboration, regulatory frameworks, and education programs in promoting secure VLSI design techniques is highlighted by policy implications. Stakeholders can improve the security posture of electronic devices, protect vital infrastructure, and guarantee the reliability of VLSI-based systems in an increasingly linked world by addressing constraints and regulatory consequences.

Ultra-Reliable Low-Latency Communication (URLLC) in 5G Networks: Enabling Mission-Critical Applications

“…In response, URLLC provides communication services with ultra-low latency-with roundtrip times as short as one millisecond-and exceptionally high reliability-with error rates as low as 10^-9. This performance is critical for applications like autonomous driving, remote surgery, industrial automation, and emergency response systems, where even a tiny delay or packet loss could have disastrous effects (Khair et al, 2019).…”

Ensuring Security in the Age of Intelligent Connectivity: Strategic Insights for 6G Networks

“…Intelligent connection, beyond simple data transfer to include a comprehensive ecosystem of linked devices, sensors, and systems, is fundamental to 6G networks. Intelligent connectivity, made possible by cutting-edge technologies like edge computing, machine learning, and artificial intelligence, can transform many businesses, give consumers more control, and spur innovation in various fields (Khair et al, 2019). The idea of a hyper connected society, where billions of devices cooperatively and fluidly exchange data and insights in real time to improve productivity, efficiency, and quality of life, is at the heart of intelligent connection.…”

Smart Contracts for Efficient Supplier Relationship Management in the Blockchain

“…As intelligent contracts are incorporated into business operations, legal and regulatory issues will become more focused. To maintain compliance and safeguard stakeholders' interests, regulatory frameworks about smart contracts, digital assets, and data privacy will develop over time (Khair et al, 2019).…”
