Why Anti-Tamper Sensors Matter: Delivering A Comprehensive Security Solution
By Raj Uppala - 09 Oct, 2025 - Comments: 0

If your device processes valuable data, controls a critical function, or connects to a wider network, it’s a target. Attackers don’t just try to break software; they increasingly physically tamper with hardware: probing, fault injecting, or opening enclosures to bypass protections and extract secrets. The consequences range from IP theft and fraud to orchestrated downtime across fleets ... » read more

The Competitive Advantage Of SRAM PUF Technology
By Vincent van der Leest - 09 Oct, 2025 - Comments: 1

By Vincent van der Leest and Geert-Jan Schrijen In the article from 2024, "SRAM PUF: The Secure Silicon Fingerprint", we explored the fundamentals of SRAM-based Physical Unclonable Functions (PUFs) and their role as a secure, cost-effective, and scalable solution for cryptographic (root) key generation and storage. SRAM PUF technology leverages the unique physical properties of silicon to c... » read more
