Learn about nondestructive testing methods for detecting counterfeit integrated circuits in this 27-minute conference talk from NANOG. Explore how supply chain security has evolved from a niche defense contractor concern into a critical cross-industry issue, highlighted by incidents like the 2018 Supermicro controversy and SolarWinds compromise. Discover how Purdue University students demonstrate a practical approach to identifying counterfeit components using the Raspberry Pi SoC as an accessible test case, though the research targets communications equipment applications. Examine the statistical modeling and multivariate analysis techniques used to differentiate authentic from counterfeit devices, and understand how generic component reuse has amplified risks of trojanized elements infiltrating critical systems. Gain insights into establishing reproducible, scalable frameworks for counterfeit detection that can enhance trust and resilience in global supply chains. See how attacks once limited to sophisticated nation-state actors are now accessible to smaller groups and individuals, making counterfeit detection increasingly important for the networking community. Learn practical approaches for incorporating this type of testing as spot checks during equipment procurement processes.
