    Individual Differences and System Properties in the Reverse Engineering of Camouflaged Logic Gates

    No full text
    Complex problem solving in applied settings within the realm of IT security is an emergent field of psychological research. We propose an experimental study design on de-camouflaging, a task that is routinely performed during hardware reverse engineering. This task consists of determining the identity of camouflaged gates within Boolean networks that are purposely designed to have an identical appearance despite their different functions. In an experimental study manipulating system characteristics and investigating interindividual differences (computational thinking, creativity, ambiguity tolerance and openness for experience), the psychological theory of reverse engineering (Lee & Johnson-Laird, 2013) is tested. This theory claims that system size, interference, and number of positive outputs determine the difficulty of reverse engineering. Based on various research, we further assume that person characteristics such as creativity and ambiguity tolerance determine how much difficulty participants have reverse engineering networks with camouflaged gates
