FPGA Trust Zone: Incorporating trust and reliability into FPGA designs

Vinayaka Jyothi, Manasa Thoonoli, Richard Stern and Ramesh Karri

This paper proposes a novel methodology FPGA Trust Zone (FTZ) to incorporate security into the design cycle to detect and isolate anomalies such as Hardware Trojans in the FPGA fabric. Anomalies are identified using violation to spatial correlation of process variation in FPGA fabric.
