arXiv:2610.41083v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Untrusted third-party entities throughout the semiconductor supply chain expose proprietary hardware intellectual property to reverse engineering, piracy, and overproduction. While logic locking counters this threat by embedding key-dependent logic, conventional static key-gates remain vulnerable to both oracle-guided SAT attacks and structural removal attacks due to their time-invariant netlist signatures.
