Abstract
Hardware Trojans, a relatively unheard threat viz-a-viz the typical software-based malwares and virus attacks that keep betiding across is being realized gradually by the IT security domain including the users, the IT Security professionals, and the corporate sector who all of a sudden discern the immense threat they might already be living in with. A distinctive dormant Hardware Trojan threat can be so flagitious that the victim does not even know if he is effectuated when he might already be. Hardware Trojans are evolving threats that can shake the roots of any set and constituted government or corporate giant for that matter. Unlike Software virus/malware threats, Hardware Trojans are pertinacious in nature. This paper brings out an overview of these threats including classifications, mechanisms they work on and the current set of countermeasures being researched upon.
