  1. Hardware Trojans (HTs) are undesired design or manufacturing modifications that can severely alter the security and functionality of digital integrated circuits. HTs can be inserted according to various design criteria, e.g., nets switching activity, observability, controllability, etc. However, to our knowledge, most HT detection methods are only based on a single criterion, i.e., nets switching activity. This paper proposes a multi-criteria reinforcement learning (RL) HT detection tool that features a tunable reward function for different HT detection scenarios. The tool allows for exploring existing detection strategies and can adapt new detection scenarios with minimal effort. We also propose a generic methodology for comparing HT detection methods fairly. Our preliminary results show an average of 84.2% successful HT detection in ISCAS-85 benchmarks.
