Machine Learning vs. Hardware Integrity Protection - Dominik Sisejkovic - Ekoparty 2021: Hardware Hacking Space

Explore the critical intersection of machine learning and hardware integrity protection in this 32-minute conference talk from Ekoparty 2021's Hardware Hacking Space. Delve into the challenges of safeguarding hardware against malicious modifications, particularly hardware Trojans, in the context of third-party involvement in integrated circuit design and fabrication. Examine logic locking as a prominent hardware obfuscation technique and its vulnerabilities to machine learning-based attacks. Gain insights into the concept of hardware integrity protection, analyze the impact of data-driven attacks on modern hardware obfuscation policies, and discuss future steps in designing machine-learning-resilient locking schemes. Learn from speaker Dominik Šišejković, an accomplished researcher and award-winning expert in hardware security and logic locking, as he shares his expertise on this crucial topic in cybersecurity.
