Hardware Trojans in Reconfigurable Computing

The design flow for field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs), besides conventional methods of inserting Trojans into a design by a malicious entity, can also be surreptitiously compromised to assist an attacker to perform a successful malfunctioning or information leakage attack. The advanced stealthy malicious look-up-table (LUT) attack activates a Trojan only when generating the FPGA bitstream and...
