With the popularity of hardware security research several edited monograms have been published
which aim at summarizing the research in a particular field. Typically each book chapter is a
recompilation of one or more research papers and the focus is on summarizing the
state-of-the-art research. Different from the edited monograms the chapters in this book are
not re-compilations of research papers. The book follows a pedagogical approach. Each chapter
has been planned to emphasize the fundamental principles behind the logic locking algorithms
and relate concepts to each other using a systematization of knowledge approach. Furthermore
the authors of this book are in a good position to be able to deliver such a book as they
contributed to this field significantly through numerous fundamental papers.
