The identification relies on the the atomic-scale uniqueness of semiconductor devices by measuring a macroscopic quantum property of the system in question. Traditionally, objects and electronic systems have been securely identified by measuring specific characteristics: common examples include passwords, fingerprints used to identify a person or an electronic device, and holograms that can tag a given object to prove its authenticity. Unfortunately, modern technologies also make it possible to circumvent these everyday techniques. Variations in quantum properties are amplified by the existence of atomic-scale imperfections. As such, these devices are the hardest possible systems to clone. They also use the least resources and provide robust security. Hence they have tremendous potential significance as a means of reliably telling the good guys from the bad.Springer Theses, Recognizing Outstanding Ph.D. Research,2190-5053SemiconductorsSystem safetyOptical materialsElectronicsMaterialsSemiconductorshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P25150Security Science and Technologyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P31080Optical and Electronic Materialshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/Z12000Semiconductors.System safety.Optical materials.ElectronicsMaterials.Semiconductors.Security Science and Technology.Optical and Electronic Materials.537.622Roberts Jonathanauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut996354BOOK9910254594303321Using Imperfect Semiconductor Systems for Unique Identification2283955UNINA
