AbstractMalicious Hardware Trojans can corrupt data which if undetected may cause serious harm. We propose a technique where characteristics of the data itself are used to detect Hardware Trojan (HT) attacks. In particular, we use a two-chip approach where we generate a data "signature" in analog and test for the signature in a partially reconfigurable digital microchip where the HT may attack. This paper presents an overall signature-based HT detection architecture and case study for cardiovascular signals used in medical device technology. Our results show that with minimal performance and area overhead, the proposed architecture is able to detect HT attacks on primary data inputs as well as on multiple modules of the design.
