    Abstract: Embodiments described herein are related to contactless data communication. Related systems and methods for contactless data communication are disclosed herein. For example, a magnetic field-based contactless transmitter is disclosed that includes a substrate, a pair of dipole coils disposed on the substrate, and a drive circuit electrically coupled to the pair of dipole coils. To transmit data to a magnetic tunnel junction (MTJ) receiver disposed on a second substrate, the drive circuit is configured to drive the pair of dipole coils so as to generate a magnetic field in-plane to the MTJ receiver. Data can be transmitted from the magnetic field-based contactless transmitter to the MTJ receiver using the magnetic field.

    Abstract: Exemplary features pertain to secure communications using Physical Unclonable Function (PUF) devices. Segments of a message to be encrypted are sequentially applied to a PUF device as a series of challenges to obtain a series of responses for generating a sequence of encryption keys, whereby a previous segment of the message is used to obtain a key for encrypting a subsequent segment of the message. The encrypted message is sent to a separate (receiving) device that employs a logical copy of the PUF device for decrypting the message. The logical copy of the PUF may be a lookup table or the like that maps all permissible challenges to corresponding responses for the PUF and may be generated in advance and stored in memory of the receiving device. The data to be encrypted may be further encoded to more fully exercise the PUF to enhance security. Decryption operations are also described.

    Abstract: In a particular aspect, an apparatus includes a magnetic random access memory (MRAM) cell including a pair of cross coupled inverters including a first inverter and a second inverter. The first inverter includes a first transistor coupled to a first node and a second transistor coupled to the first node. The second inverter includes a third transistor coupled to a second node and a fourth transistor coupled to the second node. The MRAM cell includes a first magnetic tunnel junction (MTJ) element coupled to the second transistor and a second MTJ element coupled to the fourth transistor. The apparatus further includes a voltage initialization circuit coupled to the MRAM cell. The voltage initialization circuit is configured to substantially equalize voltages of the first node and the second node in response to an initialization signal.
