System and method for obfuscation of electronic circuits
Abstract
A computer-implemented method of generating randomized electrical interconnects for an electronic circuit comprises steps of receiving a netlist of nodes of electronic components to be connected, each connection between the nodes forming an electrical interconnect; determining a list of one or more path directions for each electrical interconnect; determining a plurality of path direction distances for each electrical interconnect; generating a plurality of segments for each electrical interconnect, each segment having one path direction and a length which are selected at random; calculating a sum of the lengths of all segments of the plurality of segments in each path direction each time a segment is generated for each electrical interconnect; removing one path direction from the list of path directions when a first condition is met; and stopping the generating a plurality of segments for each electrical interconnect when a second condition is met.
