Monitoring the reliability of integrated circuits protection against Trojans: encoding and decoding of combinational structures by L. A. Zolotorevich, V. A. Ilyinkov

“…An algorithm for cracking the code of combinational circuits is proposed, based on the description of encoded structure by the resolution function and reducing the problem to SAT CNF. The initial data for decoding the structure of a digital device is the structural implementation of encoded circuit, obtained, for example, by reverse engineering (prototype design), as well as an activated physical sample of an integrated circuit, when into protected from unauthorized access memory the correct key value is loaded. …”
