Abstract
An apparatus, method, and system assess the trustworthiness of a design representation while maintaining its confidentiality and thwarting attempts at unauthorized access, misappropriation, and reverse engineering of confidential proprietary aspects of the design representation and/or its bit stream. A utility/tool is provided for trust assessment and verification of designs and/or bit streams. The utility/tool may be instantiated on a semiconductor device or implemented as a utility executable on a mobile computing device or other information processing system, apparatus, or network.
