Abstract
The reverse-engineering (RE) is a real threat on high-value circuits. Many unitary solutions have been proposed to make RE difficult. Most of them are low-level, and thus costly to design and to implement. In this paper, we investigate alternative solutions that attempt to deny the possibility of RE using high-level methods, at virtually no added cost.
