This article presents a reconfigurable physically unclonable function (PUF) design fabricated using 65-nm CMOS technology. A subthreshold-inverter-based static PUF cell achieves 0.3% native bit error rate (BER) at 0.062-fJ per bit core energy efficiency. A flexible, native transistor-based voltage regulation scheme achieves low-overhead supply regulation with 6-mV/V line sensitivity, making the PUF resistant against voltage variations. Additionally, the PUF cell is designed to be reconfigurable with no area overhead, which enables stabilization without redundancy on chip. Thanks to the highly stable and self-regulated PUF cell and the zero-overhead stabilization scheme, a 0.00182% native BER is obtained after reconfiguration. The proposed design shows 0.12%/10 {deg}C and 0.057%/0.1-V bit error across the military-grade temperature range from -55 {deg}C to 125 {deg}C and supply voltage variation from 0.7 to 1.4 V. The total energy per bit is 15.3 fJ. Furthermore, the unstable bits can be detected by sweeping the body bias instead of temperature during enrollment, thereby significantly reducing the testing costs. Last but not least, the prototype exhibits almost ideal uniqueness and randomness, with a mean inter-die Hamming distance (HD) of 0.4998 and a 1020x inter-/intra-die HD separation. It also passes both NIST 800-22 and 800-90B randomness tests.
Physical unclonable functions (PUFs) exploit the intrinsic complexity and irreproducibility of physical systems to generate secret information. PUFs have the potential to provide fundamentally higher security than traditional cryptographic methods by
We present VoltKey, a method that transparently generates secret keys for colocated devices, leveraging spatiotemporally unique noise contexts observed in commercial power line infrastructure. VoltKey extracts randomness from power line noise and sec
Recently, we have presented the first large-scale radiative transfer simulations of reionization. Here we present new simulations which extend the source halo mass range downward to 10^8M_solar, to capture the full range of halo masses thought to be
This paper introduces the concept of spin-orbit-torque-MRAM (SOT-MRAM) based physical unclonable function (PUF). The secret of the PUF is stored into a random state of a matrix of perpendicular SOT-MRAMs. Here, we show experimentally and with microma
This paper presents several design issues related to the monolithic integration of a 3-phase AC to DC low voltage, low power rectifier for 3-phase micro source electrical conditioning. Reduced input voltage operation (down to 1V), high efficiency, an
