Advanced Hardware Hacking: Designs and Attacks of Secure Hardware

Presented at DEF CON 12 (2004), July 30, 2004, 11 a.m. (50 minutes)

This presentation looks at advanced hardware hacking and reverse engineering techniques. We'll look at the steps taken by designers to incorporate security into their hardware products and then examine ways to attack them. Learning from history is important, so successful hardware hacks against security products will be discussed and copious references to other existing material will be provided.
