Cross-Scale Persistence Analysis of EM Side-Channels for Reference-Free Detection of Always-On Hardware Trojans

Always-on hardware Trojans pose a serious challenge to integrated circuit trust, as they remain active during normal operation and are difficult to detect in post-deployment settings without trusted golden references. This paper presents a reference-free detection framework based on cross-scale...

Phishing the Phishers with SpecularNet: Hierarchical Graph Autoencoding for Reference-Free Web Phishing Detection

Phishing remains the most pervasive threat to the Web, enabling large-scale credential theft and financial fraud through deceptive webpages. While recent reference-based and generative-AI-driven phishing detectors achieve strong accuracy, their reliance on external knowledge bases, cloud services...

Reference-Free EM Validation Flow for Detecting Triggered Hardware Trojans

Hardware Trojans HTs threaten the trust and reliability of integrated circuits ICs, particularly when triggered HTs remain dormant during standard testing and activate only under rare conditions. Existing electromagnetic EM side-channel-based detection techniques often rely on golden references o...
