PUFs, physically unclonable functions, are mixed-signal circuits which rely on variations unique to a specific chip in order to self-generate a digital “fingerprint.” These fingerprints can be used as the basis of cryptographic keys. While that’s useful, the real power of PUFs is leveraging their unclonable transformation function to enable a challenge-response mechanism that can distinguish an authentic chip from a perfect adversarial clone at any time after the original chip is fielded. In this webinar, Scott Best, Technical Director of Rambus Security IP, will describe the methods that PUF helper-data images generated during the chip manufacturing process can be employed to end the risk of undetectable counterfeit chips.
Scott Best joined Rambus in October 1998 who, while serving in many and varied technical roles, has become one of the most prolific inventors in the company’s history. Over the course of his career at Rambus, he is a named inventor on over 200...
