Auto-OPS: A Framework For Automated Optical Probing Simulation on GDS-II

Kurzfassung

In this work, for the first time, we propose a security evaluation framework, namely Auto-OPS, that automates performing the Optical Probing (OP) attack in simulation on a full GDS-II design file. Auto-OPS empowers designers by automatically extracting the active regions geometry model of each logic cell in the standard cell library or custom-designed logic cells to evaluate the security robustness of a design. Auto-OPS enables scaling up of the current OP evaluation environments which rely on manual extraction of active regions which is an error-prone and cumbersome procedure. Additionally, we evaluated and demonstrated the performance of our framework on several benchmark circuits GDS-II files designed using an open-source 45nm standard cell library.
