Hardware Trojan Threats to Multi-Chiplet Photonic Neural Network Accelerators
Quick summary
arXiv:2609.06796v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Multi-chiplet photonic neural network accelerators (MCPNAs) combine photonic computation, photonic communica-tion, and heterogeneous chiplet integration to enable scalable and energy-efficient AI acceleration. However, their distributed archi-tecture and reliance on third-party chiplets introduce significant hardware security risks. This paper examines Hardware Trojan (HT) threats to MCPNAs across three dimensions: confidentiality, integrity, and availability.
