Protecting Ownership of Reusable IP Core Generated during High Level Synthesis

摘要

Protection of reusable intellectual property (IP) core from vendor's perspective is extremely critical to resolve false claim of ownership problem. However solving the aforesaid is non-trivial as it involves identification of the original creator through some scientific computational methodology. This paper presents a novel computational forensic engineering (CFE) based approach for protecting reusable IP cores generated during high level synthesis that is robust, overhead free and reliable.
