However, scan architectures can be used as a powerful tool to attack integrated circuits and extract sensitive information stored in the hardware. With the advent of 3D stacked ICs, it has become essential to implement a robust security measure to prevent scan-based attacks. In this work, a phase locking solution is presented to secure the scan architecture. A Phase Locked Loop (PLL) is utilized to authenticate the tester and provide access to the scan chain. The proposed scheme is dynamic and supports different authentication requirements for different layers in a 3D stacked IC without increasing the area overhead.","PeriodicalId":338255,"journal":{"name":"2017 International Symposium on Signals, Circuits and Systems (ISSCS)","volume":"4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122618059","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

There exist different algorithms for resizing an image both in the spatial domain, as well as in the frequency domain where it is stored in compressed form. There are certain advantages of performing the resizing operation directly in the compressed domain. First, it saves the computational overhead of inverse and forward transforms. Next, by exploiting various properties of the transform domain, it is possible to design efficient fast algorithms providing good quality reconstructed image in the spatial domain. In this paper, we review a few algorithms for resizing an image by arbitrary sizes and provide a brief comparison of their performances.","PeriodicalId":338255,"journal":{"name":"2017 International Symposium on Signals, Circuits and Systems (ISSCS)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131051969","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
