Overview

Small footprint trusted identity

Generate unclonable 128 or 256-bit seeds with a compact, logic-based PUF that drops into any SoC. Digital PUF IP adds true hardware identity for secure boot, key generation, and device authentication with minimal silicon overhead.

Whether you design silicon, architect security, or validate compliance, Digital PUF IP delivers the trust anchor you need

  • SoC & ASIC Designers
    Add hardware identity and key‐seed generation without large area or external fuses.
  • Security Architects
    Tie secure boot and root-of-trust schemes to a physically unclonable seed.
  • Embedded Platform Engineers
    Pair with TRNG or secure-element blocks for complete crypto workflows.
  • Compliance & QA Teams
    NIST-validated entropy and health tests simplify certification and audit.

Key features

Unclonable Identity

Each device derives a unique, tamper-resistant seed for authentication and key generation

Customisable Security

Choose 128- or 256-bit seeds to match application requirements and crypto policies

Low Silicon Footprint

<30 kGates (typical) including fuzzy extractor

Layout-Hardened Reliability

Optimised logic cells reduce silicon skew and improve bit stability

Standards Validated

Randomness validated against NIST SP800, including CQ’s PUF-appropriate TurRiNG test suite and BSI’s AIS31 test suites

Easy SoC Integration

APB or AXI interface options drop into existing bus architectures

Benefits

Logic-Based Entropy Array

Static mismatch in logic cells produces a high-entropy bitstring that is unique per device

Fuzzy Extractor & Helper Data

Built-in error-correction logic creates helper data for repeatable seed regeneration with 1 × 10⁻⁹ failure rate

NIST-Validated Randomness

Raw entropy and post-correction output meet SP 800-22 and SP 800-90B requirements

Configurable Seed Size

Select 128-bit or 256-bit output to align with AES, ECC, or PQC key strengths

Hardened Physical Design

Layout guidelines and optional skew-reduction techniques improve robustness across technology nodes

Custom Bus Interface

APB by default; AXI or proprietary bus options available for seamless SoC connectivity

A Comprehensive Post-Quantum Cryptography (PQC) Solution based on Physical Unclonable Function (PUF)

This article provides an in-depth analysis of the specific PPA challenges introduced by PQC and elucidates how PUF-PQC leverages its unique dualtrack strategy to deliver a robust and flexible Hardware Root of Trust (HRoT) across diverse application scenarios. Furthermore, it demonstrates the integration of Physical Unclonable Function (PUF) with a NIST SP 800-90B compliant True Random Number Generator (TRNG) to serve as critical components of PUFrt (Root of Trust), ensuring the security of post-quantum key generation starting from the entropy source.

The Four Angles of Examining PUF

The security of AIoT devices has become increasingly important. In order to ensure that the system’s security functions are working effectively and protecting every node and edge device from information security risks, it is important to generate a unique root of trust in the security system rooted in the chip.
