Abstract
o
This workshop addresses the sources of counterfeit components and provides
insights into how they occur.
o
o
o
o
o
3
Counterfeit components are a rapidly growing area of concern. The
Department of Commerce has identified a 141% increase in the last three
years alone!
Counterfeit Parts are no longer an emerging threat: they’re real, and they’re
here to stay.
A counterfeit is any item that is not as it is represented with the intention to
deceive its’ buyer or user. The misrepresentation is often driven by the
known presence of defects or other inadequacies in regards to performance.
Whether it is used for a commercial, medical or military application, a
counterfeit component can cause catastrophic failure at a critical time.
Detection methodologies, such as visual inspection, mechanical robustness, XRay, XRF, C-SAM, electrical characterization, decapsulation, and marking
evaluations will be compared and contrasted.
Multiple examples of counterfeit parts identified using these techniques will
be highlighted.

Primary Sources of Counterfeit Parts
o
o
o
o
Most counterfeit parts come from parts brokers that deal in
small and odd lots
Low volume of obsolete parts bought off the internet
Authorized parts distributors rarely have counterfeits
because they receive them directly from the original
component manufacturer (OCM)
Regions with highest counterfeit activity:
o
o
o
o
17
China
Middle East
Eastern Europe
But truly a global problem!

Recent DoD Updates
o
o
o
o
May 16, 2013: Long-awaited proposed Defense Federal
Acquisition Regulation Supplement on detection and avoidance
of counterfeit parts was released for comment.
Required by Section 818 of the 2012 National Defense
Authorization Act, the DFARS was to have been in place by Sept.
27, 2012.
Instead, a “proposed rule” with comments due on or before July
15, 2013.
Little detail in the proposed rule.
o
o
o
30
The statute clearly directed the U.S. Department of Defense to
establish special requirements for contractor processes to avoid
counterfeit parts
Proposed rule largely avoids this
Folds counterfeit parts prevention into obligations that govern
contractor purchasing systems.

“Overarching DoD Counterfeit Prevention Guidance.’”
o
o
31
In the memo, the department laid out an actionable
definition of counterfeit material and also emphasized
the importance of taking immediate action to apply
existing policy and procedures, prior to establishing new
DoD policy and procedures or waiting for forthcoming
changes to the Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation
Supplement (DFARS).

Counterfeit Protection Strategies Continued
o
Choose Sources Wisely
o
o
o
o
o
o
o
49
Don’t use cost as sole/primary criteria for purchase
o Quality Product is goal
Use industry sources to evaluate potential suppliers
Ask for accreditations, certifications & memberships like
ISO9011, AS9120, IDEA-1010, ERAI or IDEA Members
Audit sources
Purchase only from suppliers who have implemented and are
committed to counterfeit avoidance practices
Understand warranty and payment terms
Create a list of approved, trusted suppliers and use them

Purchasing Best Anti-Counterfeiting Protection
Practices
o
o
o
o
o
Clearly communicate objectives and needs
Create company policy on counterfeits
Look for product in stock, not just availability
Ask if the product is traceable back to the OCM
Don’t buy COD
o
o
50
Negotiate terms or use escrow services.
Allows time for authenticity checks & testing to be
performed before paying
9000 Virginia Manor Rd Ste 290, Beltsville MD 20705 | 301-474-0607 | www.dfrsolutions.com
Purchasing Best Anti-Counterfeiting Protection
Practices
o
Before buying, ask for photos and evidence
o
o
o
o
o
51
Images of component front and back
Compare date codes and EOL date for product
Compare marking with known-good product
Do research now as it will save money later
Understand the product warranty
o Anything less than 30 days is a RED flag
o If supplier does not have confidence in the product,
why would you?

Blacktopping
Blacktopping is a counterfeiting technique where the
counterfeiter:
o
o
o
81
Takes components, usually real, but discarded
o Sands them to remove the original component marking
o Blacktops them in order to hide the original marking
o Prints them with fake markings.
Dissolve the blacktop with a solvent / acetone that reveals
the true identity of the components.
o But, methods used to blacktop sanded parts improve
daily so the acetone test is no longer reliable

Although full datasheet testing is highly recommended for
high reliability applications, a curve trace on each lead is a
very effective way to begin an electrical examination of the
parts.
A known good or reference component is required.

o
o
Often cited as one of the answers to cybersecurity woes
Difficult for small components to handle
Intel announced a process that allows the random-number generator, which
is the basis for encryption, to be made with the same semiconducting
material and at the same feature size now used for modern processors.
Package Authentication - This method makes it extremely difficult to
counterfeit the data on RFID tags
Data acts as an electronic security marker to automatically authenticate
genuine product packaging.

Encryption on a Chip
o
Physically unclonable functions (PUFs) provide one way to tie a device to its mark of
authenticity.
o
o
o
o
With the necessary hardware in place, a secret key can be injected into the device at
wafer test.
o
o
o
Each IC is subtly different to its peers on wafer, even though all that make it through test
will operate in the same manner.
For example, internal srams have subtle biases such that, when they are first powered up,
they contain a pattern of 1s and 0s that is essentially random from die to die, but which is
consistent from power cycle to power cycle for that die. Repeatability can be as high as
80% under different test conditions.
This pattern can be used as an unclonable device 'fingerprint' that, together with a digital
certificate stored as part of the manufacturing and test process, guarantees authenticity
Followed by injection of a digital certificate bound to the secret key at the assembly and
binning stage.
Provides a certificate that has been securely signed by the OCM and which supports all
downstream anti counterfeiting measures.
Certificate, which can be interrogated at any point, provides traceability for suppliers
and end users, providing a way of guaranteeing a counterfeit free supply chain
downstream.

Exploring DNA as a tagging and tracking method
optical scanning technology that can identify counterfeit electronic
components
ChromoLogic developed a tag with a biomimetic barcode that
can be aligned in the proper order and decoded by an optical
reader, similar to how the sequence of a DNA molecule can be
read.
o http://chromologic.com/technologies-2/
o Discovered that the optical scanning technology developed to
decode the biomimetic tag is capable of mapping the intrinsic
surface of electronic components, providing a type of
fingerprint to distinguish authentic or counterfeit circuits.
