破壞與修正（CAC）邏輯鎖定是一種硬體安全技術，旨在保護 IC/IP 設計免受 IP 盜版、逆向工程、過度生產和未經授權的使用。此方法通過插入額外的電路來保護電路。它首先使用破壞/擾動單元來破壞原始電路的功能，然後使用修正/恢復單元將電路修復回其正確的功能。只有在應用正確的密鑰時，電路才能保持其正確功能。

破壞與修正 (CAC) 邏輯鎖定可以分為兩種類型：單次翻轉鎖定技術（SFLTs），如 Anti-SAT 和 SARLock，以及雙次翻轉鎖定技術（DFLTs），包括 TTLock、SFLL-HD、SFLL-flex、SFLL-fault 和 SFLL-rem。儘管這些技術都能抵禦 SAT 攻擊，但它們仍然易遭受到結構性攻擊，這些攻擊利用邏輯合成工具留下的結構痕跡來恢復被加密的電路，使其回到原始形態。

在本文中，我們提出了一種僅使用 OFF-set 來破壞電路的新方法。此方法有助於將額外加入的電路更好地與原始電路融合，從而抵擋結構性攻擊，同時保持對 SAT 攻擊的抵抗力。此外，我們證明了我們提出的方法相較於之前的方法可以減少功能剝奪電路的面積。實驗結果顯示，我們提出的方法在面積開銷上比 SFLL-rem 的 4.13% 達到了更低的 2.61%。

Corrupt-and-Correct (CAC) Logic Locking is a hardware security technique designed to protect IC/IP designs from IP piracy, reverse engineering, overproduction, and unauthorized use. This method secures circuits by inserting additional circuitry. It first employs a corrupt/perturb unit to strip the functionality of the original circuit, then uses a correct/restore unit to flip the output back to its correct functionality. The circuit retains its correct functionality only when the correct key is applied.

CAC Logic Locking can be categorized into two types: Single Flip Locking Techniques (SFLTs) such as Anti-SAT and SARLock, and Double Flip Locking Techniques (DFLTs) including TTLock, SFLL-HD, SFLL-flex, SFLL-fault, and SFLL-rem. Although these techniques are resilient to SAT-based attacks, they remain vulnerable to structural attacks, which exploit structural traces left by the synthesis tool to recover the encrypted circuit back to its original form.

In this paper, we will propose a new method that uses only the OFF-set to corrupt the circuit. This approach helps the added circuitry better merge with the original circuit, thereby thwarting structural attacks while maintaining resilience to SAT-based attacks. Additionally, we demonstrate that our proposed method can reduce the area of the functionality stripped circuit compared to previous methods. Experimental results show that our proposed method achieves a lower area overhead of 2.61% compared to SFLL-rem, which exhibits 4.13%.
