Abstract: Disclosed herein is related to physical unclonable function (PUF) with enhanced security based on one time programmable (OTP) memory device. In one aspect, indirection process, hashing or a combination of them can be employed to hide a key for allowing access to an integrated circuit. Each indirection process may include identifying a subsequent address of the OTP memory device based on content stored by the OTP memory device at an address, and obtaining subsequent content stored by the OTP memory device at the subsequent address. Through a number of indirection processes, hidden content stored by the OTP memory device can be obtained. In one approach, hashing can be applied to input bits to obtain an address of the OTP memory device to apply. In one approach, hashing can be applied to the hidden content stored by the OTP memory device to generate the key.

Abstract: An in-memory computing device includes in some examples a two-dimensional array of memory cells arranged in rows and columns, each memory cell made of a nine-transistor current-based SRAM. Each memory cell includes a six-transistor SRAM cell and a current source coupled by a switching transistor, which is controlled by input signals on an input line, to an output line associates with the column of memory cells the memory cell is in. The current source includes a switching transistor controlled by the state of the six-transistor SRAM cell, and a current regulating transistor adapted to generate a current at a level determined by a control signal applied at the gate. The control signal can be set such that the total current in each output line is increased by a factor of 2 in each successive column of the memory cells.
