Technical Description
This invention discloses a cryptography-based data security system that leverages Physically Unclonable Functions (PUFs) to secure and license Intellectual Property (IP) cores on FPGA devices. It establishes an independent pay-per-device licensing mechanism without relying on trusted third parties, external hardware, or core vendors.
Problems Addressed
- Lacks Pay-Per-Device Enforcement
- Inefficient Secret-Key Vulnerability
- Expensive License Disclosures
- Lacks Independent Licensing
- Inefficient Transaction Overhead
- Vulnerable Bitstream Protection
Tech Features
- Enhanced IP Protection
- Efficient Dynamic Keying
- Independent License Management
- Cost-Effective Pay-Per-Device Licensing
- Streamlined Transaction Flow
- Enhanced Hardware-Bound Security
Target Audience
- FPGA Vendor Sectors
- Semiconductor Design Industries
- Electronic Design Automation (EDA) Sectors
- High-Performance Computing Industries
- Artificial Intelligence Hardware Sectors
- Research & Development
Tech ID: P32-2009 TRL 6 Patent Status: Granted Available For Exclusive and Non-exclusive License
