State encoding watermaking for field authentication of sequential circuit intellectual property by Zhang, Li, Chang, Chip Hong

“…The method embeds the watermark by encoding the state variables as opposed to modifying the states and edges of state-transition graph (STG) in conventional finite state machine (FSM) watermarking schemes. It has the merits of being applicable to gate-level implementation of sequential circuit without the need to extract the STG; the authorship can be easily authenticated in the field as the watermark is embedded based on testability directed partitioning; and the watermark is hard to be erased by test structure removal and conceivable re-synthesis attacks as it is globally embedded before synthesis and optimization. …”

Identification of FSM state registers by analytics of scan-dump data by Cui, Aijiao, He, Chengkang, Chang, Chip Hong, Lu, Hao

“…This paper presents a non-invasive approach to identify the state registers of a finite state machine (FSM) in an integrated chip. The state registers of the FSM are mined from the scan-dump data by exploiting the strongly connected property and chronologically correlated state codes of the FSM. …”
