The utilization of power-up values in SRAM cells to generate PUF responses for chip
identification is a subject of intense study. The cells used for this purpose must be stable, ie …

Refurbished chips (ie, chips re-used legally in circular economy) and counterfeited chips (ie,
used chips fraudulently sold as new) are a growing concern for the industry because of their …

PUFs based on the power-up values of an array of SRAM cells are a popular solution to
provide secure and low-cost key generation suitable for IoT devices. However, SRAM cells …

Abstract Physical Unclonable Functions (PUFs) have gained attention as a lightweight
hardware security primitive. In particular, the SRAM-based PUF uses the unpredictable …

Time-Dependent Variability phenomena can have a considerable impact on circuit
performance, especially for deeply-scaled technologies. To account for this, these …

Semiconductor microelectronics integrated circuits (ICs) are increasingly integrated into
modern life-critical applications, from intelligent infrastructure and consumer electronics to …

The utilization of power-up values in SRAM cells for the generation of PUF responses has
been widely studied. It is important that the cells used for this purpose are stable, ie, the cells …

Complementary Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor (CMOS) technology has been present for over
half a century now [1]. During this time, it has experienced a continuous dimension scaling …
