( please use lymphatic system disease) Your discussion should identify a specific pathogen and thedisease caused by the pathogen. Additionally, you should list the signs and symptoms of the disease, its modeof transmission, prevention, diagnosis, and potential treatments.

Describe the motives of the semiconductor industry to shift to a horizontal business model. How does the horizontal business model introduce the risk of hardware Trojan insertion? 1. Who are the potential adversaries to implant a hardware Trojan? Provide a brief description on each of them. In your opinion, which one is the most difficult

Illustrate the Trojan taxonomy. Describe the classification of Trojans based on the “Activation Mechanism”. Describe the classification of Trojans based on the “Payload”. Illustrate the taxonomy of Trojan countermeasures.

Provide a brief description of a generic Trojan structure. 1. Describe the difference between a combinational and a sequential Trojan. 2. Provide an example of hardware Trojan in a cryptomodule. 3. Give a comparison of hardware Trojans in ASIC and FPGA designs.

DFT structures are inserted only by the SoC designers. 1. Apart from fabrication, Foundries also perform tests to find defective ICs. 2. All hardware Trojans have a trigger. 3. The foundry is a trusted entity in the SoC design flow.

Briefly describe the built-in self-authentication (BISA) technique. Consider the following scenario: A rogue foundry wants to insert Trojan in BISA-protected design. The foundry wants to replace higher driving strength gates with the same functionality lower driving strength gates, for example, replace 8x buffer with 1x buffer, to make room for Trojan cell insertion. Give your

Who are the potential adversaries to implant a hardware Trojan? Provide a brief description on each of them. In your opinion, which one is most difficult to defend? 1. How can CAD tools introduce vulnerabilities? Explain with examples. 2. Why cannot test and debug structures simply be removed when they are creating unintentional security vulnerabilities?

Describe the motives of the semiconductor industry to shift to a horizontal business model. How does horizontal business model reduce cost and time-to-market? Why are most companies becoming fabless? Describe the different types of IPs that can be procured from third-party vendors. What types of tests are performed on a fabricated chip by the Foundry
