Usage

• Configuration setup: configuration_file.txt
• Watermarking generation: create_FSM_12
  • Input: FSM-input.txt
  • Output: HDL_code.v, testbench.v, signature_information.txt
• Simulation: any simulation tool can be used to simulate the generated HDL_code.v file
  • Input: HDL_code.v
  • Output: FSM-output_test.txt
• Watermark validation: recover_information
  • Input: FSM-output_test.txt, signature_information.txt
  • Output: whether the extract watermark is correct
