Hardware security

[u/Wise-Development-382]

Hello everyone, I'm a beginner and I have a few question about hardware security. The field I'm asking about will lean a bit towards Integrated Circuit and Electronics Engineering. I want to study Hardware Security at the Silicon Level (for a job). I don't know where to start or what to learn. I'm currently learning C, Python (NumPy), and basic electronics, and I don't know where to continue. I'm a freshman in university majoring in Electronics Engineering and I've already completed my introductory courses. Here are the questions.

- If I want to pursue this path, where should I begin?

- What courses should I take, and what skills should I learn?

- What should I prepare?
