"Self-Destructing Circuits and More Security Schemes"

At the recent IEEE International Solid-State Circuits Conference (ISSCC), researchers presented technologies to combat sneaky hack attacks. Engineers developed a method for detecting a hacker's placement of a probe on a circuit board to read digital traffic in a computer. Another team found new ways to obfuscate electromagnetic emissions from an active processor that could reveal its secrets. Other groups came up with new techniques for chips to generate their own digital fingerprints to ensure their authenticity. One team developed a chip-fingerprint self-destruct scheme. This article continues to discuss the different security schemes recently presented at the IEEE ISSCC.
