Description: HardSecBench is a benchmark testing how well large language models understand security when generating hardware code like Verilog and C. It uses a multi-agent pipeline to create complex tasks based on common security weaknesses (CWEs). The results show models often fail to add necessary protections when only given functional requirements, highlighting a gap in their security awareness.
