Responsibilities
Develop and optimize algorithms for PUF enrollment – this involves characterizing PUF circuits and developing techniques to reduce the cycles needed to identify bits of interest
Explore algorithm-hardware co-design techniques to reduce cost as well as time needed to extract PUF signature at run-time
Collaborate with internal technology design teams to build the IP as a macro to be integrated in the target microcontroller SoC
Assess the suitability of the “unstable” circuit elements as an entropy source to build a true random number generator
