Abstract

An exemplary method of detecting a Trojan circuit in an integrated circuit is related to applying a test pattern comprising an initial test pattern followed by a corresponding succeeding test pattern to a golden design of the integrated circuit, wherein a change in the test pattern increases side-channel sensitivity; measuring a side-channel parameter in the golden design of the integrated circuit after application of the test pattern; applying the test pattern to a design of the integrated circuit under test; measuring the side-channel parameter in the design of the integrated circuit under test after application of the test pattern; and determining a Trojan circuit to be present in the integrated circuit under test when the measured side-channel parameters vary by a threshold.
