Integrated Circuits are at the core of any modern computing system such as military systems and smart electric power grids, and their security and trustworthiness ground the security of entire system. Notwithstanding the central impact of ICs security and trustworthiness, the horizontal IC supply chain has become prevalent due to confluence of increasingly complex supply chains and cost pressures.
In this presentation, Professor Salmani will present an overview on some of his contribution into hardware security and trust including vulnerability of digital circuits to malicious modification called hardware Trojans at different levels, design methodologies and techniques to facilitate hardware Trojan detection, and design methodologies to prevent design counterfeiting. In a detailed discussion, Professor Salmani will focus on the vulnerability of ICs to hardware Trojan insertion at the layout level.
Professor Hassan Salmani received the Ph.D. degree from the University of Connecticut, in 2011. He is currently an Assistant Professor with Howard University. While his current research sponsored by Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency and Howard University, he has published tens of journal articles and refereed conference papers and has given several invited talks. He has published one book and one book chapter. His current research projects include hardware security and trust and supply chain security. He is a member of the SAE International’s G-19A Tampered Subgroup, ACM, and ACM SIGDA. He serves as a Program Committee and Session Chair of the Design Automation Conference, Hardware-Oriented Security and Trust, the International Conference on Computer Design, and VLSI Design and Test.
