Title of Document: CYBERSECURITY FOR INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY: DEVELOPING PRACTICAL FINGERPRINTING TECHNIQUES FOR INTEGRATED CIRCUITRY Carson Dunbar, Doctor of Philosophy, 2015 Directed By: Professor Gang Qu, Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering The system on a chip (SoC) paradigm for computing has become more prevalent in modern society. Because of this, reuse of different functional integrated circuits (ICs), with standardized inputs and outputs, make designing SoC systems easier. As a result, the theft of intellectual property for different ICs has become a highly profitable business. One method of theft-prevention is to add a signature, or fingerprint, to ICs so that they may be tracked after they are sold. The contribution of this dissertation is the creation and simulation of three new fingerprinting methods that can be implemented automatically during the design process. In addition, because manufacturing and design costs are significant, three of the fingerprinting...

Abstract Digital system designs are the product of valuable effort and know-how. Their embodiments, from software and hardware description language program down to device-level netlist and mask data, represent carefully guarded intellectual property (IP). Hence, design methodologies based on IP reuse require new mechanisms to protect the rights of IP producers and owners.
