MIMIC: Automatic Hardware Trojan Insertion In a Design

By: Jonathan Cruz (University of Florida), Abhishek Nair (IIT Madras), Prabuddha Chakraborty (University of Florida), Tamzidul Hoque (University of Florida), Naren Vikram Raj Masna (University of Florida), and Swarup Bhunia (University of Florida)

Stage: Gate-Level

Summary

MIMIC is an automated machine-learning based Trojan insertion tool capable of inserting hard-to-detect Trojans in gate-level netlists. MIMIC learns from existing Trojans to insert a large number of Trojans in a gate-level netlist allowing for powerful IP Trust Verification and automated big data analytics on hardware IP.
