I build chips that cannot be reverse-engineered, by anyone.
As founder of Black Box Chip, I’m commercializing a decade of research into provable hardware security. Our integrated circuits combine physically unclonable functions, logic locking, and read-proof memory to make reverse engineering computationally infeasible, even for adversaries with unlimited physical access to the device.
This protection travels with the chip: across defense applications, semiconductor supply chains, and high-value commercial deployments where IP exposure is not a theoretical risk, it’s an active threat.
My academic work on reverse engineering camouflaged microchips was published in the IEEE Transactions on Computer-Aided Design, recognized as a Top Pick in Hardware and Embedded Security, and earned the Best in Hardware Security award at three consecutive conferences.

Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to Common Inquiries
How does Black Box Chip work?
Black Box Chip utilizes a unique, unextractable secret bound to each chip. This ensures that without authorization, the chip’s internal design appears meaningless, protecting its true function from potential attackers even under full reverse engineering.
Who can benefit from your technology?
Organizations in high-stakes environments such as defense, semiconductor Ru0026D, and sensitive embedded systems can greatly benefit from our technology. We cater to any sector where capability exposure equates to significant risk.
What makes your chips unique?
Our chips don’t just lock access but conceal their function entirely, making them resilient against worst-case scenarios. With no insight gleaned from reverse engineering, they ensure robust protection for valuable intellectual property and strategic capabilities.
