Description
OBFUSCATION OF ASIC DESIGNS TO MITIGATE TROJANS
Score Rationale
No AI/ML techniques are named or implied in the work scope; obfuscation of ASIC designs is a hardware security/verification problem with no machine learning component. Problem framing is reasonable (supply chain security/hardware trojans) but remains a legacy hardware engineering concern rather than a modern operational challenge. Northrop Grumman Systems Corporation is a canonical large prime defense integrator, disqualifying this from AI-native procurement signal.
