Analyzing Collusion Threats in the Semiconductor Supply Chain | NIST Cybersecurity White Paper 46
June 30, 2025

Supply chain threat analysis is an essential component of security research. NIST Cybersecurity White Paper (CSWP) 46, Analyzing Collusion Threats in the Semiconductor Supply Chain, proposes a framework for analyzing threats related to the semiconductor supply chain. The framework introduces a metric that quantifies the severity of different threats subjected to a collusion of adversaries from different stages of the supply chain. Two different case studies are provided to describe the real-life application of the framework. The metrics and analysis aim to guide security efforts and optimize the trade-offs of hardware security and costs.
