LUNA INNOVATIONS INCORPORATED — Department of Defense SBIR Phase I: In the modern process of integrated circuit (IC) development, the actual design and fabric

Description

In the modern process of integrated circuit (IC) development, the actual design and fabrication of an IC typically is distributed between a number of different companies and/ or individuals. This requires a degree of trust between the designers and the fabricators. Ultimately, the original designer wants to be able to assure that the final device performs only those functions for which it was designed and no others. As an expert in the area of IC Trust, Luna has developed an innovative in-circuit system to allow a designer to establish a level of Trust in integrated circuits. The designer will have the ability to create a custom set of hardwares checkers for their design. During this SBIR program, Luna will leverage this system to improve security monitoring and integration with existing technology.
