Abstract
A method and system for analysis of a facility may include providing an emulation host system, first generating a golden circuit model on the emulation host system, first inserting a first hardware trojan model, first emulating operation of the golden circuit model, and second emulating operation of the first hardware trojan model. A facility may include a trojan instrument facility having a trojan detection instrument comparing logic circuit output against a threshold for detecting hardware trojan activity, and outputting alert data, and in relation to opening one of a plurality of scannable access points, a scannable register is inserted into an active scan chain with an associated instrument interface.
