Method and system for providing a reverse engineering resistant hardware embedded security module
Abstract:
A hardware-embedded security system is described. The system includes connective components, circuit elements and an insulator. The connective components include a variable conductivity layer that is conductive for a first stoichiometry and insulating for a second stoichiometry. A first portion of the circuit elements are connected to a first portion of the connective components and are active. A the second portion of the circuit elements are connected to a second portion of the connective components and are inactive. The insulator is adjacent to at least a portion of each of the connective components. The first stoichiometry is indistinguishable from the second stoichiometry via optical imaging and electron imaging of a portion of the insulator and the variable conductivity layer.
