83 - Counterfeiting Prevention
Hardware that measures the oxidation in the MOSFETs in an IC to detect aging
Manufacturer measure to specifically log and measure produced units and keep track of them
Measure implemented in ICs to be activated only by the manufacturer, to deter illicit use
Standard cells (cells used in ICs) are redesigned to "anonymize" themselves, to be unable to be told apart
A PUF is a mechanism that generates a stable different ID for every same device without programming or storing it. It can't be reverse engineered, and even if an ID is discovered you can't clone it
