A subtle change that leads to disastrous consequenceshardware Trojans undoubtedly pose one of the greatest security threats to the modern age. How to protect hardware against these malicious modifications? One potential solution hides within logic locking; a prominent hardware obfuscation technique. In this book, we take a step-by-step approach to understanding logic locking, from its fundamental mechanics, over the implementation in software, down to an in-depth analysis of security properties in the age of machine learning. This book can be used as a reference for beginners and experts alike who wish to dive into the world of logic locking, thereby having a holistic view of the entire infrastructure required to design, evaluate, and deploy modern locking policies.

Dominik Sisejkovic received the B.Sc. and M.Sc. degree in software engineering from the Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Computing, University of Zagreb, Croatia, in 2014 and 2016, respectively. In February 2022, he received the Ph.D. (Dr.-Ing.) degree with the highest honors from the Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Information Technology, RWTH Aachen University, Germany. From 2016 to 2022, he worked as a research assistant at the Chair for Software for Systems on Silicon (SSS) at the RWTH Aachen University. In his doctoral work, he contributed to various aspects of logic locking (a hardware protection methodology), focusing on software tools to prevent malicious design modifications (hardware Trojans) within hardware designs. In addition, he was directly involved in the design and implementation of the logic-locking software framework that was applied for the productlƒ7
