Abstract
Significant vulnerabilities have been found in chips. Computer programs and methods have been developed to prevent, find, and mitigate them. We proposed Secure Hardware Assurance Reference Dataset (SHARD) as a repository of reference examples (test cases) of both vulnerable and "clean" hardware IC designs. SHARD test cases will enable tool makers to test their techniques and allow chip designers to evaluate those tools. SHARD received preliminary funding through NIST Building The Future (BTF). This reports what we have achieved with that funding.Citation
