Abstract
In some embodiments, the present disclosure provides systems and methods for detecting malware, including receiving thermal images of an integrated circuit, and generating a power density profile using at least one of the thermal images. The present disclosure further includes comparing the power density profile to an expected power density profile of the integrated circuit, and determining, based on the comparison, if the integrated circuit is in an abnormal operating state.
