    Abstract: A system that includes: a microelectromechanical system (MEMS) device for generating an output signal at an output of the MEMS device, the MEMS device receiving at least one input signal at an input of the MEMS device; a storage medium configured to store a signal injection function and an output generation function; and a processor, in communication with the MEMS device and the storage medium, the processor configured to run the signal injection function to selectively modify the at least one input signal to produce a modified input signal and to provide the modified input signal to the input of the MEMS device, and that is configured to run an output generation function to extract a random component and a unique component from the output signal, wherein the random component and the unique component are generated by the MEMS device based on the modified at least one input signal.

    Abstract: Techniques to determine whether the design of integrated circuit (IC) has been tampered with during wafer manufacturing by using an enhanced library and layout methodology. The enhanced library may include location sensitive cells networked together in a mesh architecture where paths through the mesh can be used to detect relative position of location sensitive cells. The techniques further include algorithms that fill any unused space on an IC with additional elements from the enhanced library to minimize the opportunity to modify the IC by including additional circuit function or manipulating the layout. By physically locking down the circuit placement such that there is no available area and gives improved ability to detect changes in the physical location behavior of the circuit, therefore reduces the risk that unauthorized circuit manipulation will go undetected.

    Abstract: In some examples, a programmable device may load configuration data into a configuration storage to configure programmable logic of the programmable device. The programmable device may include a key generation logic that may read at least a portion of the configuration data from the configuration storage. The key generation logic may generate a cryptographic key based at least in part on the at least a portion of the configuration data read from the configuration storage.
