What the designer can do alone

A subject the papers are about. The loosest grouping, and the one to reach for last.

Countermeasures against an untrusted foundry that require nothing from it. Collects the techniques a designer can apply unilaterally -- locking, watermarking, obfuscation carried in the design itself. Membership requires the defence to need no foundry cooperation.
