Abstract
Recently the Korean government has established a law to protect the defense industrial technology for the sake of national security and is trying to apply the anti-tamper methodology to weapon systems acquisition programs. The anti-tamper refers to the system engineering activity to protect critical information in systems from tampering and reverse engineering. Adversary’s malicious tampering can weaken our military advantage, shorten the expected combat life of our system, and erode our defense industrial technological competitiveness. In this paper, we introduce the overview of the anti-tampering techniques and suggest a software protection technique using FPGA which can be efficiently used for weapon systems.
