Abstract
The miniaturization of microfluidic device components has greatly improved the scale and convenience of biochip. Undoubtedly, there will be a booming market for biochips in the future. Owning to the popularization potential of biochip, it has also became a target for attackers. This chapter presents about the security and innovation protection of biochip, including attack technologies, security threat effects, and protection technologies. Two mainly attacked technologies hardware Trojan (HT) and reverse engineering (RE) are introduced. Both HT and RE involve the destruction from physical structure to bioassay; thus, the discussion is extended into the several security threat effects. Moreover, the protection approaches responds to attacks from three aspects: (1) intellectual property (IP) protection directly facing the bioassay security, (2) some reliable methods detecting the existence of the attacks early, and (3) camouflage and obfuscation preventing the above two attack technologies effectively. Additionally, this chapter also discusses some possible security threats and countermeasures for future biochips.
