arXiv:2610.22580v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: An attacker targeting the software supply chain (SWSC) of VLSI tools can fully subvert the VLSI design pipeline through purely software level compromises. However, cur- rent literature on both SWSC and VLSI hardware security has not explored how software can be used to subvert the security of the VLSI design flow. In order to bridge this gap, this paper presents a systematic analysis of the vulnerable surface of VLSI from a SWSC standpoint. We car
