Hardware threat effect on parallel CORDIC in IoT devices

Abstract

Internet of Things (IoT) devices starts to spread all over the world. IoT revolution makes the devices smarter and improves the performance of the devices. The devices can now exchange information between each other and distribute data analysis effort between each other or send it to data analysis center. As a prediction from Cisco, the number of IoT devices will be 50 billion IoT device connected together in 2020. This enormous number will make us think about immunity of these IoT devices against the Hardware attacks. We propose in this paper the effect of inserting Hardware Threat in Coordinate Rotation Digital Computer (CORDIC). Methods are presented in this paper to identify Hardware Trojan and its effect on the CORDIC performance.
