Quiddikey™ in Hardware by Intrinsic-ID

Product Description

Quiddikey™ in Hardware

Intrinsic-ID’s Quiddikey™ in Hardware is a key storage product that extracts the key from the unique device fingerprint originating from the deep submicron manufacturing process variations. It is designed to protect a device and its content against counterfeiting and cloning. It is available as RTL silicon IP and can be integrated seamlessly into any chip design.

Functionality:

Secure key storage

Advantages:

• Very secure key storage: the key is not present when the device is powered off
• Protects against cloning of devices and systems
• Enables a cost reduction through a lower bill of material for ICs with security functionality
  • It allows to eliminate on-chip non-volatile memory for key storage
  • It allows secure key storage in small technology nodes (40nm and below) where limited or no embedded non-volatile memory is available
• Uses standard design and Manufacturing flow
• Scales very well over all technology nodes, foundries and processes

Applications:

• Secure Elements for Mobile Contactless Payments and Streaming Media Protection
• Protection of software, content and data against piracy through Software/Hardware Binding
• Flexible System for Secure Boot (anti-virus protection)
• Control Word Protection in Pay TV Systems
