Abstract
Over the last two decades we have become dependent on a network of electronic devices that supports a plethora of services, ranging from delivery of entertainment and news to maintenance of business records to filing of legal forms. This network provides a robust platform to handle all kinds of sensitive information at the personal, corporate, or government levels. Furthermore, many physical systems, e.g., the power grid, are currently being connected and to some extent controlled by commands relayed over the very same network. In essence the network permeates and blends into the physical infrastructure.

Notes
- 1.
IP-core stands for intellectual property-core and represents third-party hardware modules that achieve a useful isolated task such as audio-video decoders, error correction circuits etc.
- 2.
To address this problem for ICs to be used in the military, some governments have been subsidizing the operations of a few domestic, high-cost trusted fabrication plants.
- 3.
The smallest Trojan became only noticeable when the power profiles were sampled at the low-noise parts of the signal.
