SEC 2244 - Introduction to Secure Digital Systems
The course introduces students to the design and security of digital circuits, digital systems and digital components using digital logic. The topics will provide a bridge between simple digital circuits that consist of a few gates and advanced large-scale circuits such as a pipelined microprocessor. Students will be introduced to modern hardware design languages, as well as the necessary simulation and analysis tools for these languages. Starting from simple registers, the course builds knowledge of both combinational and sequential digital circuits. Students will implement simple digital designs and transfer them to a Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) for testing. The security of digital circuits, threats such as trojans and countermeasures such as testing, verification and certification will be discussed. Assured digital microelectronics and their importance in society will be discussed.
