Hardware Trust and Security<\/p>

Security of electronic hardware, in particular, integrated circuits (ICs), is rapidly becoming an important design, test, and validation concern with a growing number of attacks at different stages of IC life-cycle. Nanoscape is presently investigating solutions for hardware protection that ensures trust and security for all parties involved while not affecting the end user experience. <\/p><\/div><\/a>\n<\/div>
