摘要	Hardware Trojans (HTs) are emerging threats for integrated circuits. In this paper, we propose a novel scheme, named LMDet, to detect HTs through distinguishing the "unnaturalness" of HTs from the "naturalness" of normal circuits using the natural language processing technology. The key insight of LMDet is that we find clean circuits tend to be "natural" (i.e., to be highly repetitive in structure) and HTs appear to be "unnatural" (i.e., to be rare in structure) in some sense. LMDet models circuit gates sequentially, using the n-gram language model. Gate sequences from the circuit under detection (CUD) are assessed according to their probability in the model, and low-probability sequences are marked as suspected Trojan-related gates. Evaluation with benchmarks and industrial circuits shows that LMDet is capable of detecting Trojan logic without the HT-free reference of CUD. LMDet has short execution time on large commercial circuits with acceptable space overhead. It is a promising method in real industry since plenty of HT-free designs are available as training corpus to ensure good statistical effects.
