I. Introduction
The changing landscape of the semiconductor industry has increased the demand for intellectual property (IP) cores. Various factors, such as reduced time to market (TTM) and lower design cost, have led to the proliferation of the IP market. Another contributor to this growth is the use of System-on-Chip (SoC) platforms for mobile applications. SoC is a monolithic chip containing all the essential components for mimicking the functionality of a computer. It is designed by integrating multiple IP cores from trusted and untrusted third party vendors. Similarly, many software systems are designed by third-party developers.
