Self-Composition Deviation (SCD)

Concept

**Self-Composition Deviation (SCD)** is a security-oriented coverage metric for coverage-guided hardware fuzzing. It was introduced as part of a methodology called **coverage-guided hardware-software contract fuzzing**, which targets violations of hardware-software leakage contracts in processor designs.[^b91069a9]
