NIST Releases IR 8517, Hardware Security Failure Scenarios: Potential Weaknesses in Hardware Design
November 13, 2024

NIST Internal Report (IR) 8517, Hardware Security Failure Scenarios: Potential Weaknesses in Hardware Design, has now been finalized.

Hardware is often assumed to be robust from a security perspective. However, this report documents numerous potential security failures that can occur in hardware. It also demonstrates the diverse ways in which hardware can be vulnerable.

The authors leveraged existing work on hardware weaknesses to provide a catalog of 98 security failure scenarios. Each of these is a succinct statement that describes how hardware can be exploited, where such an exploitation can occur, and what kind of damage is possible. This should raise awareness of the many types of hardware security issues that can occur.
