Semiconductor manufacturers offer valuable customers an easy way to increase the protection of their products: chips with custom marking on the packages instead of standard chip names. That gives the impression that the final product was designed using ASICs or full custom ICs. ‘Everyone knows’ that ASICs offer very good protection against different sorts of attacks and only well equipped and highly skilled attackers could succeed with breaking them. This may stop many potential attackers fiddling with the product.
