| Abstract: | Generating a physically a physically unclonable function ("PUF") circuit
value includes comparing each of first identification components in a
first bank to each of second identification components in a second bank.
A given first identification component in the first bank is not compared
to another first identification component in the first bank and a given
second identification component in the second bank is not compared to
another second identification component in the second bank. A digital bit
value is generated for each comparison made while comparing each of the
first identification components to each of the second identification
components. A PUF circuit value is generated from the digital bit values
from each comparison made. |
