Abstract:
Digital fingerprinting was introduced for the protection of VLSI design intellectual property (IP). Since each copy of the IP will receive a distinct fingerprint, it can also be used as an identification for the IP or the integrated circuits (IC). This enables the IP/IC designer to trace each piece of the IP/IC and thus identify the dishonest user should piracy or misuse occurs. In this talk, after defining the basic requirements of fingerprinting, we focus on how to solve the core challenge in digital fingerprinting, namely, how to effectively create large amount of distinct but functionally identical IPs. We first use the graph coloring problem as an example to demonstrate a general approach based on constraint manipulation; then we show how the popular iterative improvement paradigm can be leveraged for fingerprinting; the highlight will be three recently developed post-silicon fingerprinting techniques that can be automatically integrated into the design and test phases. These techniques have high practical values.

Dr. Gang Qu is a professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering and Institute for Systems Research, University of Maryland at College Park, where he is the director of Maryland Embedded Systems and Hardware Security (MeshSec) Lab and the Wireless Sensors Laboratory. His primary research interests are in the area of embedded systems and VLSI CAD with focus on low power system design and hardware related security and trust. He studies optimization and combinatorial problems and applies his theoretical discovery to applications in VLSI CAD, wireless sensor network, bioinformatics, and cybersecurity. His book “VLSI Intellectual Property Protection: Theory and Practice” is the first in hardware security and he is also the author of a popular MOOC course on hardware security.
