We for the first time propose a hardwarebased energy attack, namely energy hardware Trojans (HTs), which can be well hidden in the wireless systems and trigger ultra-high energy increases at runtime. Then, we develop a non-destructive HT detection approach to identify the energy attack by remotely sampling the power profiles of the system and characterizing the gate-level temperatures. Our evaluation results on ISCAS benchmarks indicate the effectiveness of the proposed energy attacks and defense techniques. Both research and practical efforts have been directed towards wireless security at various levels, including software applications, communication channels, as well as hardware systems. Among them, many conventional and new security attacks [5][9][18][1][24][35][16] have been well identified, analyzed, and resolved. However, we note that the security towards one of the most crucial and fundamental components in wireless systems, namely energy consumption, has rarely been discussed until now.
