Hardware backdoors are backdoors in hardware, such as code inside hardware or firmware of computer chips.[1] The backdoors may be directly implemented as hardware Trojans in the integrated circuit.
Hardware backdoors are intended to undermine security in smartcards and other cryptoprocessors unless investment is made in anti-backdoor design methods.[2] They have also been considered for car hacking.[3]
