Trust in analog : analog circuit techniques for reducing the risk of malicious circuits and software

Malicious circuits and software present a significant security risk, especially in control applications. This work is concerned with increasing the trustworthiness of control circuitry by reducing its complexity. The security benefits of substituting analog control techniques in place of digital control are analyzed, and both discrete and integrated circuit designs are demonstrated.
