Hardware Security Primitives

This book provides an overview of current hardware security primitives, their design considerations, and applications.  The authors provide a comprehensive introduction to a broad spectrum (digital and analog) of hardware security primitives and their applications for securing modern devices. Readers will be enabled to understand the various methods for exploiting intrinsic manufacturing and temporal variations in silicon devices to create strong security primitives and solutions. This book will benefit SoC designers and researchers in designing secure, reliable, and trustworthy hardware.

• Provides guidance and security engineers for protecting their hardware designs;
• Covers a variety digital and analog hardware security primitives and applications for securing modern devices;
• Helps readers understand PUF, TRNGs, silicon odometer, and cryptographic hardware design for system security.
