Embedded Tutorial 1
Title: Counteracting Malicious Faults in Cryptographic Circuits
Presenters: Ilia POLIAN (University of Passau – Germany) Francesco REGAZONI (ALaRI Institute, University of Lugano – Switzerland)
Tutorial Summary: In the area of testing, faults represent defects that occur during circuit manufacturing, or transient disturbances due to radiation or noise. This tutorial will focus on faults that an attacker deliberately injects into a security-critical circuit. We will explain the threats posed by fault-injection attacks, pointing out similarities and differences between “natural” and malicious faults, and detection methods and countermeasures applicable in both cases. We will describe various methods of malicious fault injection with high and low precision and discuss the necessary equipment (including commercially available solutions), as well as potential impact of such faults to system security. In particular, we will discuss the relationship of fault-injection attacks with other attack vectors and with test and measurement techniques.

Embedded Tutorial 2
Title: Security and Trust in the Analog/Mixed-Signal/RF Domain: A Survey and a Perspective
Presenter: Yiorgos MAKRIS (UT Dallas – USA)
Tutorial Summary: The objective of this tutorial is to summarize and present the available body of knowledge in trusted and secure design of analog/mixed-signal/RF ICs/IPs, covering both known vulnerabilities and available remedies. A comprehensive survey of the relevant literature will be provided, organized around four themes: (i) hardware Trojans and Trojan states in analog/mixed-signal/RF ICs along with existing detection/prevention methods, (ii) analog/mixed-signal/RF IP piracy scenarios and techniques for proving authenticity and ownership, (iii) analog/mixed-signal/RF IC counterfeiting and detection mechanisms, and (iv) limitations of existing methods in the analog/mixed-signal and RF domain, focusing on the gaps that exist in our current understanding of this problem and potential directions towards filing them and mitigating the threats in analog/mixed-signal/RF ICs/IPs.

Embedded Tutorial 3
Title: Volume Diagnosis Data Mining
Presenter: Wu-Tung CHENG (Mentor Graphics – USA)
Tutorial Summary: This tutorial will present the basic concept of machine learning and data mining techniques. The focus is on the application of these techniques to identify the root causes of volume diagnosis scan test failure data. It will cover how to select proper machine learning features and parameters to support industrial usage. It also covers techniques used to avoid over-fitting caused by limited data and the noises of industrial scan failure diagnosis data. The identified root causes information not only can be used to improve yield analysis but also can reduce PFA cost by focusing on systematic defect failing die.

He has over 150 publications and 57 patents in semiconductor manufacture test and diagnosis area. He received 2006 ITC best paper award, 2008 ITC honorable mention award, 2014 ATS best paper award. He received his Ph.D. degree in Computer Science from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign in 1985.
Embedded Tutorial 4
Title: Challenges and Emerging Solutions in Testing Embedded IO interfaces in 2.5D and 3D Systems
Presenter: Salem ABDENNADHER (Intel – USA)
Tutorial Summary: With advances in VLSI technology, process, packaging and architecture, SoC systems continue to increase in complexity. This has resulted in an unprecedented increase in design errors, manufacturing flaws and customer returns in modern VLSI systems related to High Speed IO circuits. The situation will be exacerbated in future systems with smaller form factors, higher integration complexity, embedded IO’s, and more complex manufacturing process. Systems using embedded DRAM interconnected via a high density substrate with interposer-like technologies or via Thru-Silicon Via (TSV) are being introduced in a broad array of products. In this embedded tutorial we present testability methodology practices for 2.5D and 3D products with embedded IO interfaces. As opposed to conventional testing, 2.5D and 3D ICs test flows are more complex and new DFx methodologies will be presented that provide good coverage and visibility to isolate failures in High Volume Manufacturing.
