The primary goal of the DARPA AISS project is to develop secure System on Chips (SoCs) that can be widely used by designers with varying range of security expertise. However, it is also crucial to ensure that the security architectures are compliant with the power, performance, and area requirements. Critical Outcomes produced 1. Developed and demonstrated a proof-of-concept implementation a complete SoC implementation with hardware and firmware support for integrating PUF, Logic Locking protocols, and IP watermarking techniques. 2. Developed a standardized wrapper architecture for integrating IPs with diverse security objectives. 3. Developed a secure boot methodology for provisioning critical assets during boot time. 4. Developed a security specification language for describing security requirements at the user-level.
