This chapter introduces the reader to the concepts of hardware security as well as exposing them to the new frontiers on hardware (intellectual property (IP) core) security from the perspective of forensic detective control mechanisms and obfuscation techniques. The book explicitly emphasizes the emerging solutions in the literature on hardware security of digital signal processing (DSP) cores. This has not been covered in any book so far. The reader is expected to have some foundational knowledge of very-large scale integration (VLSI), digital hardware design flow, high-level synthesis (HLS) and optimization. The readers can use IP Core Protection and Hardware-Assisted Security for Consumer Electronics to gain some pre-knowledge in the field.
