Patent number: 11538147Abstract: A method and apparatus related to developing electromagnetic emission and power models for a target device using photonic emissions thereof are provided. Data of photonic emissions of a target device during a first period of time with the target device in one or more modes is recorded. Data of electromagnetic emissions of the target device during the first period of time with the target device in the one or more modes is also recorded. The recorded data of the photonic emissions and the recorded data of the electromagnetic emissions are correlated to establish one or more electromagnetic emission models for the target device. The one or more electromagnetic emission models enable predictive analysis of emissions by the target device.Type: GrantFiled: November 14, 2019Date of Patent: December 27, 2022Assignee: INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATIONInventors: Andrea Bahgat Shehata, Peilin Song, Franco Stellari

Patent number: 11106764Abstract: Techniques facilitating integrated circuit identification and reverse engineering are provided. A computer-implemented method can comprise identifying, by a system operatively coupled to a processor, an element within a first elementary cell of one or more elementary cells of an integrated circuit. The method can also comprise matching, by the system, the element with respective elements across the one or more elementary cells including the first elementary cell. The respective elements can be replicas of the element. Further, matching the element with respective elements can be based on a layout analysis of the integrated circuit.Type: GrantFiled: November 14, 2019Date of Patent: August 31, 2021Assignee: INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATIONInventors: Andrea Bahgat Shehata, Peilin Song, Franco Stellari

Patent number: 10147175Abstract: A computer-implemented device and method for identifying hardware Trojans and defects based on light emissions from Integrated Circuits (ICs) is provided. A measured emissions map is received based on light emissions captured from a sacrificial test IC. The sacrificial test IC is a partially manufactured IC fabricated to include a set of frontend layers of an IC architecture but not a set of backend layers of the IC architecture. The sacrificial test IC also includes a sacrificial layer for powering devices in the partially manufactured IC without the set of backend layers. An expected emissions map is derived from the sacrificial test IC and the measured emissions map is compared with the expected emissions map to identify deviations from the IC architecture in the frontend layers.Type: GrantFiled: January 24, 2017Date of Patent: December 4, 2018Assignee: INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATIONInventors: Andrea Bahgat Shehata, Peilin Song, Franco Stellari, Alan J.
