Abstract :
Watermarking, the embedding of data in a medium for tracking and ownership protection, has been well studied in digital audio, image, and video media. In this work, watermarking is brought into the realm of the physical design of integrated circuits (ICs) to protect and facilitate reuse of intellectual property (IP) circuitry blocks
