ANALYSIS OF A SEQUENTIAL HARDWARE TROJAN TRIGGERED BY THE TRANSITIONS OF THE RARE INPUT EVENTS

Abstract

This paper presents an analysis of a sequential Hardware Trojan(HT) triggered by the rare input events transitions. Hardware Trojans represents a malicious entity who  could hijack, leak confidential informations, disable the system etc. Since the Hardware Trojan insertion modifies the functionality of the of the original circuit, it should be treated with maximum importance. The novelty of this paper represents the analysis of the sequential Hardware Trojan (HT) which can be triggered by the rare input events transitions.
