US Patent Issued to CRYPTOGRAPHY RESEARCH on Feb. 24 for "Determining a physically unclonable function (PUF) selection vector" (California Inventor)

ALEXANDRIA, Va., Feb. 24 -- United States Patent no. 12,562,925, issued on Feb. 24, was assigned to CRYPTOGRAPHY RESEARCH INC. (San Jose, Calif.).

"Determining a physically unclonable function (PUF) selection vector" was invented by Scott C. Best (Palo Alto, Calif.).

According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "Technologies for generating an M-bit selection vector for a selector circuit that receives as input M binary values from a set of entropy-generation elements and outputs N binary values responsive to the M-bit selection vector are described. N bits in the M-bit selection vector are set to a first logic state, and M-N bits of the M-bit selection vector are set to a second logic state. A determination o...
