Overview

The Flash Protection Series is a suite of enhancements available for PUFcc and PUFrt, extending the Hardware Root of Trust to protect critical assets in the commodity flash. The Flash Protection Series can widen an SoC’s secure boundary based on our highly reliable PUF technology widely available across all major foundries.

Key features

  • PUFenc is designed to protect external flash memory and its stored assets.
  • The IP provides asset encryption, such as a learning model for AI or firmware for the chip with a local key from the PUF.
  • It adds an additional layer of security by avoiding using the global key, which is a shared key among ICs after the chip leaves the manufacturing floor.
