Abstract
A first set of ports and/or circuit elements in a circuit design may be received, where the first set of ports and/or circuit elements is expected to cause damage if the first set of ports and/or circuit elements is compromised. A second set of ports and/or circuit elements in the circuit design may be determined by performing forward path tracing from the first set of ports and/or circuit elements, backward path tracing from the first set of ports and/or circuit elements, or both forward and backward path tracing from the first set of ports and/or circuit elements. A report may be generated based on the second set of ports and/or circuit elements in the circuit design, where the report is used for performing threat analysis and risk assessment for the circuit design.
