Abstract

See full text

Subsets of multiple signal generator circuits embodied in a device are selected, and then a volatile value for the device is generated from the selected subsets. The volatile value may be used for authentication of the device and/or for cryptographic procedures performed on the device. The signal generator circuits may each comprise an oscillator circuit, and the selection of the subsets may be according to a comparison of the outputs of the subsets of circuits, for example, according to a comparison of output oscillation frequencies.
