Best Practices for Anti-counterfeiting Design
In order to best mitigate counterfeiting risks, chips should include four essential countermeasures:
- Anti-emulation: Make it impossible to mimic the chip with a low-cost MCU or easily rebuild it as an ASIC using a low-cost technology.
- Anti-reverse engineering: Make it as difficult as possible for reverse-engineers to correctly determine a chip’s circuitry, ROM or NVM contents.
- Latent Features: Latent countermeasures used to detect and revoke clones after they’ve been fielded.
- Anti-tamper: Make it difficult for an adversary to obtain secret data and/or analyze the chip’s internal operations.
Rambus anti-counterfeiting solutions provide semiconductor makers, authentication IC makers, and their OEM customers a path to easily to deploy our field-proven countermeasures in their products.
Anti-Tampering Technologies
The design of chip anti-tamper protection needs to adapt and scale with rising threats. Adversaries range from high school hackers to well-funded state actors. Given the threats, it’s useful to think about anti-tamper countermeasures as a hierarchy of safeguards that parallel the type, effort and expense of attacks. Watch this webinar to learn the eleven kinds of tampering attacks and their required skills and resources, and countermeasures for each of these attacks.
