Abstract

In this paper, we will demonstrate Hardware Trojan Attacks on four different digital designs implemented on FPGA. The hardware trojan is activated based on special logical and reduction-based operations on vectors which makes the trojan-activity as silent and effective as possible. In this paper, we have introduced 5 novel trojan attack methodologies.
