– Testing and verification of IC safety (IRIS/TRUST, CRAFT);
– EPIC methods (eFuse, SHIELD);
– Functional separation (SRADE, DAHI/CHIP);
– Complete separation and variability (LARPA TIC, VARP);
– Government solutions (trusted IC suppliers, certified IC production technology).
It is enough just to scroll through these books on the Internet to understand: any
intruder has virtually no chances to introduce a Trojan into an American microcircuit
during any stage of its lifecycle; if he somehow miraculously succeeds, the strict
countering system will anyway detect it during the final tests. Moreover, the existing
(and examined above) methods make it possible to find not only the specific stage
of insertion of the Trojan, but also the specific performer of this operation—up to
their position, place of work and even the time of diversion. Given, of course, the
performers and managers will strictly adhere to the directive requirements of the
corresponding regulatory documents of the US Department of Defence.
After studying these documents carefully and in full, you will realize: if you
implement all the consecutive points of these mandatory detailed instructions, you as
the general project manager will have a firm confidence that there is a 99% probability
that no extra elements will be added to your microcircuit, and that you can transfer
any microcircuit manufactured at any foreign factory to your customer with a clear
conscience.
8.9 Basics of State Strategy of Ensuring Cybersecurity
As we know, by early twenty-first century the humanity was yet to manage with
the global safety problems—natural and man-made disasters, epidemics, and armed
conflicts. The new term “cybersecurity“ marked another problem of the extremely
