| Popis: | With the rapid growth of information and communication technology (ICT), an increasing number of electronic gadgets like computers, cell phones, entertainment electronics gadgets, and others are being sold to consumers, and when these gadgets stop functioning or become obsolete or unwanted by a user, they get converted to e-waste, also known as waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE). This e-waste is either disposed of in landfills or recycled by burning and dissolution in strong acids. But all of these processes can cause hazards to the environment and human health. So, new approaches to manage e-waste effectively have been proposed and implemented to deal with the environment and human health hazards, which include reusing electronic components (EC) which are still functional within waste electronic gadgets via secondary markets. The parts of waste electronic gadgets that cannot be reused are recycled to recover the materials from them. In this paper, the security concerns arising due to reusing and recycling process through reverse engineering of waste electronic gadgets that can lead to piracy and cloning have been explored and possible existing solutions have been reviewed against the security concerns. On the other hand, since reusable ECs are entering the semiconductor industry supply chain through a secondary market, the supply chain security concerns that can arise due to mixing of a brand-new EC with old reusable ones are considered and possible existing solutions have been stated to address the problem. Also, the possibility of leakage of information from waste storage devices like hard drives has been considered and technique to prevent that has been inspected. |
