"New NSF-Backed Research Addressing Threat of Security Breaches in Semiconductor Design"

The University of Maine's National Science Foundation (NSF)-funded collaborative research project, “KIPPER: A Scalable Learning-Guided Hardware IP Protection Platform,” will address the threat of confidentiality breaches in semiconductor design, including reverse engineering and Intellectual Property (IP) theft. The KIPPER project will create a new hardware security framework that incorporates Artificial Intelligence (AI) techniques. The AI tools will automate vulnerability detection and simulate security researchers' identification of attack vectors and causes. This article continues to discuss the goals and potential impact of the KIPPER project.
