Query: A Novel Topology-Guided Attack and Its Countermeasure Towards Secure
  Logic Locking   The outsourcing of the design and manufacturing of integrated circuits (ICs)
in the current horizontal semiconductor integration flow has posed various
security threats due to the presence of untrusted entities, such as
overproduction of ICs, sale of out-of-specification/rejected ICs, and piracy of
Intellectual Properties (IPs). Consequently, logic locking emerged as one of
the prominent design for trust techniques. Unfortunately, these locking
techniques are now inclined to achieve complete Boolean satisfiability (SAT)
resiliency after the seminal work published in [47]. In this paper, we propose
a novel oracle-less attack that is based on the topological analysis of the
locked netlist even though it is SAT-resilient. The attack relies on
identifying and constructing unit functions with a hypothesis key to be
searched in the entire netlist to find its replica. The proposed graph search
algorithm efficiently finds the duplicate functions in the netlist, making it a
self-referencing attack. This proposed attack is extremely efficient and can
determine the secret key within a few minutes. We have also proposed a
countermeasure to make the circuit resilient against this topology-guided
attack to progress towards a secure logic locking technique.
