Attacks on PCB: Security Challenges and Vulnerabilities
Abstract
PCBs of electronic systems are deemed robust, secure, and trustworthy. However, numerous instances of PCB design exploitation in design houses, foundries, and fields of operation have given rise to major security concerns. Examples of physical tampering of PCBs include malicious alterations, such as adding or replacing a component through soldering, bypassing a connection, or snooping a trace to change or disrupt system functionality. An adversary can obtain critical data from a PCB or bypass a security mechanism through these malicious modifications. Thus, it is possible for an attacker to gain illegal access to secure systems and leak information, or disrupt the ...
