Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The present invention relates to security devices such as authentication and encryption, and relates to a device for generating a device-specific identifier required for authentication, a secret key required for encryption, and the like. Background technique
[0002] In semiconductor devices such as ASIC (Application Specific Integrated Circuit) and FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array, Programmable Gate Array), even if the same circuit is mounted on the same type of device, device characteristics such as gate delay will vary. It is different in each device, so there is a phenomenon that each device obtains a different output.
[0003] The circuit or its technology that produces such a phenomenon is called Physical Unclonable Function (physical unclonable function), Physical Uncloning (physical unclonable) technology, etc., and is expected to be applied to applications such as authentication and encryption.
[0004] In addition, in this specification, ...
