Hardware Security and Trust

"Hardware Security and Trust"

Prof. Paolo PRINETTO Politecnico di Torino

The seminar aims at presenting the main issues related with Hardware Security (i.e., dealing with (secret) data in hardware devices) and Hardware Trust (i.e., dealing with design and manufacturing of hardware devices). In particular we focus on potential threads that can occur though the overall device life cycle, including design, production, test, and dismission. Several example of real threads and counterfeitings will be presented. The concept of PUF - Physically Unclonable Functions (i.e., built-in mechanisms that generate one stable different ID for each identically-manufactured device) will then be introduced. The main feature of SEcubeTM, an Open Security Platform, and some examples of usage of the platform in protecting critical infrastructures will be presented.
