A2: Analog Malicious Hardware [pdf]
Thanks for this, just added it to my Zotero backlog. I don't see what this has to do with Ken Thompson though. Did he believe that undetectable hardware backdoors would be possible in the future, or what exactly?<p>I applied for a PhD at UMich this year hoping to work at MICL[1] under Prof. Dennis Sylvester, who co-authored this paper, but I was sadly rejected[2]. MICL is one of the best places in the world to do IC design, and Prof. Sylvester is absolutely amazing.<p>[1]: <a href="http://www.eecs.umich.edu/micl/" rel="nofollow">http://www.eecs.umich.edu/micl/</a><p>[2]: I got a funded offer at GA Tech, so it's all good :D
