Foundations of Hardware IP Protection
This book provides a comprehensive and up-to-date guide to the design of security-hardened, hardware intellectual property (IP). Readers will learn how IP can be threatened, as well as protected, by using means such as hardware obfuscation/camouflaging, w

Preface
The increasing production costs of electronic devices and changes in the design methods of integrated circuits has led to emerging threats in the microelectronics industry such as counterfeiting, illegal copying, reverse engineering and theft. The designing process of a microelectronic Very Large Scale Integration (VLSI) circuit evolved, in last decades, towards a continuously growing « design-reuse » method trend. It is structured today with standard functional blocks vendors (around 50 companies worldwide) delivering « Intellectual Property » blocks, i.e. « IPs ». Those companies face a strong counterfeiting as many other industrial domains, with a strong impact on their business model without any technical solutions to exactly count the dissemination of their models in terms of physical unit devices. Since more than a decade, IP protection has become a critical issue for the microelectronic industry. Electronic devices are increasingly becoming the target of counterfeiting, cloning, illegal copy, theft and malicious hardware insertion (such as hardware Trojans). All these threats cost a lot of money and time to the legal industry. For example in 2014, electronic items counterfeiting was estimated
