Summary
This research paper presents methods for detecting and identifying hardware Trojans (malicious circuits intentionally hidden in FPGA designs, which are reconfigurable computer chips) in network descriptions of chip layouts. The work focuses on making these detection methods explainable, meaning users can understand why the system flagged a particular area as suspicious rather than just getting a yes/no answer.
