Security Essentials

Our integrated Security IPs use PUF-based technology to establish a Hardware Root of Trust with a unique inborn chip fingerprint. Want to learn how? Find out here.

PUF

Physically unclonable functions (PUFs) are used in hardware security primarily for chip identification and authentication.

Hardware Root of Trust

Hardware Root of Trust underpins all Secure Operations on a chip, and protects critical assets by providing a secure Root Key.

Crypto Coprocessor

A Cryptographic Coprocessor is a dedicated hardware module that includes an independent processor to accelerate cryptographic operations on an SoC.

Foundational Technology

Chip Level Security provides a reliable foundation for any cybersecurity ecosystem. Learn more about the analog micros and digital cryptography included in PUFsecurity’s solutions.

UID

Each chip has a Unique Identifier (UID) for determining the authenticity of each device. It’s used for authentication and authorization in network connections.

HUK

A Hardware Unique Key (HUK) is the “Root Key” from which all other secret keys can be derived. Applications can then generate multiple keys for symmetric cryptographic operations.

Anti-tamper Design

Anti-tampering design is critical to protecting sensitive information. It indicates all the techniques to prevent, detect, or respond to anti-tampering attacks or even show evidence after being tampered.

TRNG

A True Random Number Generator is an entropy source used to produce cryptographically secure unsystematic numbers. It is used to generate keys for the security ecosystem in a device.

Quantum Tunneling

Quantum Tunneling happens with a programming voltage across the ultra-thin gate-oxide of an anti-fuse, this can break some silicon/oxygen bonds, creating dangling bonds around each interface.

Anti-Fuse OTP

One-Time-Programmable Memory (OTP) is a type of non-volatile memory that permanently programs cells. It is commonly used for Key Storage and is critical for semiconductor security.
