Logic Locking Conquest 2021

Overview

Logic Locking is a revolutionary technique for protecting Intellectual Property of Integrated Circuits from myriad security threats, such as reverse engineering, overbuilding, piracy, and hardware Trojan insertion. In this student-led Logic Locking Conquest Challenge, participants will attempt to attack designs locked with state-of-the-art methods. This year's challenge is a spotlight on FPGA-based Redaction. Participants will be provided with a selection of eFPGA fabrics with varying complexity and key sizes.

This competition is open to students enrolled in undergraduate or graduate degree programs from around the world.

CSAW LLC 2021 consists of a Qualifying Round and a Final Round as part of the CSAW 2021 conference.

In the Qualifying Round, teams will try to recover the functionality/bitstream of eFPGA fabrics. Teams will chronicle their approaches, tools, and other insights in a submission pack.

Teams with the best submissions are then invited to the Final Round at CSAW'21, where they will present a poster to a panel of judges. CSAW'21 will be a virtual event, organized by NYU Center for Cybersecurity. We anticipate that virtual presentations will take place on 12 November with a virtual award ceremony that evening.
