Claim 0:
1. A computer-implemented method comprising:
receiving an initial representation of an initial electronic hardware design;
receiving a modified representation of a modified electronic hardware design generated by one or more transformations applied to the initial electronic hardware design;
obtaining a security model for the initial electronic hardware design and the modified electronic hardware design;
performing an analysis process on the initial representation of the electronic hardware design and on the modified representation of the electronic hardware design according to the security model;
determining, from performing the analysis process on the initial representation and the modified representation, that the modified electronic hardware design introduced a security vulnerability relative to the initial electronic hardware design;
in response, outputting information representing the introduced security vulnerability, wherein the information representing the introduced security vulnerability comprises an indication that the modified electronic hardware design introduced at least one security vulnerability; and
using the indication that the modified electronic hardware design introduced at least one security vulnerability to reject the modified electronic hardware design as a candidate.
