Patent number: 9830481Abstract: A transponder (1) comprises at least one memory (MEM1, MEM2) for storing encrypted information (E_k(EPC, PI)) that has been encrypted by use of a key (k) and for storing the key (k) associated with the encrypted information (E_k(EPC, PI)). The transponder (1) is adapted to send the key (k) slower response than the encrypted information (E_k(EPC, PI)) in response to queries of a reading device (2), which is preferably done by delaying the transmission of the key (k) or by limiting the response rate at which the key (k) is transmitted. In particular the invention is related to RFID systems.Type: GrantFiled: June 14, 2006Date of Patent: November 28, 2017Assignee: NXP B.V.Inventors: Pim Tuyls, Geert Jan Schrijen, Stefan Maubach, Boris Skoric, Antoon Marie Henrie Tombeur

Patent number: 8784367Abstract: The invention relates to a sensor (102) and a control unit (702) for cooperation with the sensor. The sensor (102) serves for measuring a velocity of a fluid (308) flowing through a channel (306). The sensor (102) employs a thermal measuring principle, which measuring principle is robust regarding disturbances on the amount of power dissipated by the heating element (106). A sensor receiver (110) is arranged for receiving an electromagnetic radiation generated by a control transmitter (722) comprised in a control (702) unit for cooperation with the sensor (102). The electromagnetic radiation is employed for powering the heating element (106) which is arranged for heating the fluid. On the basis of a measurement signal generated by a transducer arrangement comprised in the sensor (102), a control actuator (724) controls the velocity of the fluid. For this purpose a sensor transmitter (116) is arranged for transmitting the measurement signal to a control receiver (734).Type: GrantFiled: July 2, 2009Date of Patent: July 22, 2014Assignee: Koninklijke Philips N.VInventors: Ronald Dekker, Jaap Haartsen, Pascal De Graaf, Antoon Marie Henrie Tombeur, Adrianus Johannes Maria Van Tuijl

Patent number: 8502669Abstract: It is described a RFID device (231a, 231b, 231c, 331) comprising a data memory (236) and an electronic circuit arrangement (237, 238, 239, 247) coupled thereto. The electronic circuit arrangement has a first and a second operational configuration, wherein by receiving a control command (250a) the electronic circuit arrangement can be switched irreversibly from the first to the second configuration. The RFID device further comprises a communication interface (245) being coupled to the electronic circuit arrangement. In the first configuration the RFID device is adapted to communicate with a standard RFID reader (110) via the communication interface. In the second configuration the communication with the standard RFID reader is disabled and the RFID device is adapted to communicate with a readout-RFID device (370). The RFID device may be equipped with a secondary communication interface that can be used to communicate with the RFID device in a privacy-preserving manner.Type: GrantFiled: September 19, 2007Date of Patent: August 6, 2013Assignee: Koninklijke Philips N.V.Inventors: Jorge Guajardo Merchan, Geert Jan Schrijen, Claudine Viegas Conrado, Antoon Marie Henrie Tombeur, Pim Theo Tuyls

Patent number: 8105873Abstract: Provided is a flexible device (100) having an integrated circuit (5) and an antenna (6) which is incorporated or directly coupled to the interconnect structure of the integrated circuit (5). An electrically insulating or dielectric layer (4) is present as support layer for both antenna (6) and integrated circuit (5). Preferably the substrate (10) is removed at non-silicon areas (10B) outside the active areas (10A) of the integrated circuit (5). This removal can be combined with the use of a substrate of monocrystalline silicon. The flexible device is very suitable for integration in identification labels and security paper, and can be manufactured using a temporarily attached carrier substrate.Type: GrantFiled: September 9, 2010Date of Patent: January 31, 2012Assignee: Koninklijke Philips Electronics N.V.Inventors: Ronald Dekker, Theodorus Martinus Michielsen, Antoon Marie Henrie Tombeur

Patent number: 7915707Abstract: An integrated-circuit device includes a rigid substrate island having a main substrate surface with a circuit region circuit elements and at least one fold structure. The fold structure is attached to the substrate island and is unfoldable from a relaxed, folded state to a strained unfolded state. The fold structure contains at least one passive electrical component. The fold structure further has in its folded state at least one surface with an area vector that includes a non-vanishing area-vector component in a direction parallel to the main substrate surface, which area-vector component is diminished or vanishes when deforming the fold structure from the folded into the unfolded state.Type: GrantFiled: August 7, 2007Date of Patent: March 29, 2011Assignee: Koninklijke Philips Electronics N.V.Inventors: Ronald Dekker, Antoon Marie Henrie Tombeur, Theodoros Zoumpoulidis

Publication number: 20090282259Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of authenticating, at a verifier (210), a device (101, 201) comprising a physical token (102), a system for performing authentication and a device comprising a physical token which provides measurable parameters. A basic idea of the present invention is to provide a secure authentication protocol in which a low-power device (101, 201), for example an RFID tag, comprising a physical token (102) in the form of a physical uncloneable function (PUF) is relieved from performing cryptographic operations or other demanding operations in terms of processing power. To this end, a PUF device (101, 201) to be authenticated verifies if it in fact is being queried by an authorized verifier. For instance, an RFID tag comprising a PUF (102) may be arranged in a banknote which a bank wishes to authenticate.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 10, 2007Publication date: November 12, 2009Applicant: Koninklijke Philips Electronics N.V.Inventors: Boris Skoric, Pim Theo Tuyls, Antoon Marie Henrie Tombeur
