A technique to build a secret key in integrated circuits for identification and authentication applications

Abstract: This paper describes a technique that exploits the statistical delay variations of wires and transistors across ICs to build a secret key unique to each IC. To explore its feasibility, we fabricated a candidate circuit to generate a response based on its delay characteristics. We show that there exists enough delay variation across ICs implementing, the proposed circuit to identify individual ICs. Further. the circuit, functions reliably over a practical range of environmental variation such as temperature and voltage.

Distortion analysis of analog integrated circuits

Abstract: From the Publisher: Distortion Analysis of Analog Integrated Circuits provides both qualitative and quantitative insight into the nonlinear behavior of analog integrated circuits at low and high frequencies. General techniques to suppress nonlinear behavior such as pre-distortion, linear and nonlinear feedback are explained in detail and illustrated with realistic examples. In this way the book fills the gap between the theory of nonlinear systems and practical analog integrated circuits. Distortion Analysis of Analog Integrated Circuits is essential reading for practicing analog and mixed-signal design engineers and researchers in the field. It is also suitable as a text for an advanced course on the subject.
