Summary

  • SCOPE is a synthesis-based constant propagation attack for security evaluation of logic locking techniques. 
  • The attack is oracle-less and requires minimal knowledge from the attacker’s point of view.
  • The introduced attack performs a synthesis-based analysis on each individual key-input port and looks for meaningful design features that may help point to the correct key value. 
  • SCOPE offers two attack modes: a linear regression test and an unsupervised machine-learning analysis.
