It has been a decade since the need of VLSI design
intellectual property (IP) protection was identified
[1,2]. The goals of IP protection are 1) to enable IP
providers to protect their IPs against unauthorized
use, 2) to protect all types of design data used to
produce and deliver IPs, 3) to detect the use of IPs,
and 4) to trace the use of IPs [3]. There are significant
advances from both industry and academic towards
these goals. However, do we have solutions to achieve
all these goals? What are the current state-of-the-art
IP protection techniques? Do they meet the protection
requirement designers sought for? What are the (new)
challenges and is there any feasible answer to them in
the foreseeable future?
This paper addresses these questions and provides
possible solutions mainly from academia point of
view. Several successful industry practice and ongoing
efforts are also discussed briefly.
