(Hsinchu Taiwan, June 28th<\/sup>, 2022) eMemory (TWSE: 3529) and its subsidiary PUFsecurity, and United Microelectronics Corporation (NYSE: UMC; TWSE: 2303) (\u201cUMC\u201d), a leading global semiconductor foundry, announced today the successful silicon qualification of the world\u2019s first PUF (Physical Unclonable Function)-based secure embedded flash solution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Embedded flash has been prone to non-invasive attacks on sensitive data, key parameters, firmware, and program codes. Program codes stored in an embedded flash are usually unencrypted for real-time execution purposes, giving attackers a chance to steal product secrets. PUFsecurity\u2019s PUFef (formerly known as PUFflash) is a win-win solution, making real-time execution in place (XiP) and data-at-rest protection possible. With its built-in Root of Trust (PUFrt), PUFef enables comprehensive data protection for UMC\u2019s eFlash technology platform, which is engineered to address the performance and ultra-low power requirements of IoT applications and the real-time encryption\/decryption for program codes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWe have seen growing demand for secure storage,\u201d said Chris Lu, Senior Vice President of eMemory. \u201cIt\u2019s a natural step for customers to ask how their storage unit would be protected to counter the increasing threat. Together with PUFsecurity, customers can significantly increase the safety of their data with the optimal solution for each one\u2019s different application scenario.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThe silicon-proven IP is now available off-shelf for customers using UMC\u2019s eFlash platform for a variety of applications,\u201d said Osbert Cheng, Vice President of Device Technology Development & Design Support at UMC. \u201cThis cooperation will provide our customers safer, more stable, and faster solutions, and we expect it will enhance our specialty technology offering and address more business possibilities in the embedded flash market.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cPUFef solves a major dilemma between protecting sensitive information and real-time program execution without burdening the chip\u2019s performance,\u201d said Evans Yang, Executive Vice President of PUFsecurity. \u201cGiven the success of PUFef with UMC, it\u2019s an important step for us that expands our business to flash protection, helping clients protect their know-how and enhance product performance.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n
