Introduction

Integrated circuits (IC) are key parts of any electronics system, controlling the main functions of the system or storing critical information (e.g. IPs, encryption key, personal data).

In this course, you will first learn about the basics of an integrated circuit (IC) layout and how data are stored in an IC chip. You will then learn of various IC hardware security analysis approaches, covering non-invasive/semi-invasive/invasive techniques in sample preparation, imaging, content extraction and data analysis. Lastly, there will be lab sessions for you to apply some of these techniques. 

The Graduate Certificate in Hardware Security Evaluation and Certification is done in collaboration the Cyber Security Agency of Singapore to train and upskill professionals in the industry as well as for professionals who are keen to join this exciting industry

This course is part of:

- Graduate Certificate in Hardware Security Evaluation and Certification

By the end of this course, learner would:

  1. Have a basic understanding and some hands-on experience on hardware security analysis via chip analysis (PCB & IC)
  2. Be able to design experiments or devise plans to tackle hardware security problems in ICs

To meet the requirement of SkillsFuture Singapore, assessment(s) will be conducted during every course. The assessment(s) include:

  • Class Participation
  • Quiz, Test, Laboratory sessions


Suitable for practicing cybersecurity professionals or fresh engineering graduates interested in a career of cybersecurity, specifically in the domain of hardware security evaluation, assurance and certification.

Specifically for learners who would like to know hardware assurance through PCB/IC analysis, be trained in hardware assurance or considering a future career advancement in related domain.

Such knowledge can be applicable in jobs related to hardware design, roles in certification or evaluation labs, forensic investigator, vulnerability assessment analyst etc.
