Abstract: A method of determining authenticity of a component in an imaging device includes generating an analog signal as an authentication challenge to the component. The method further includes generating, by the component, a response to the authentication challenge by converting the analog signal into one or more digital values and capturing a derivative of the one or more digital values as the response. Authenticity of the component is determined by comparing the response with an expected response.

Abstract: A magnetic sensor array device is described that is constructed with multiple single sensor die, diced out of a wafer individually and packaged in a multi-chip module (MCM). The device comprises an array of multi-axis magnetic sensors that can measure the multi-dimensional magnetic field of an arbitrary sized two-dimensional region with high spatial resolution, reduced sensing distance, higher measurement throughput, tolerance to motion, improved temperature measurement, and improved yield when placed on a circuit card comprises part of an authentication system including a physical unclonable function (“PUF”), a substrate, a plurality of magnetized particles randomly dispersed in the substrate, and a PUF reader constructed using one or more of the magnetic sensor array devices wherein the PUF reader measures the magnetic field at multiple locations in close proximity to the magnetized particles. The measured magnetic field data may be compared to previously enrolled data to assess authenticity.

Abstract: A magnetic sensor device with an array of magnetic sensors arranged on a common semiconductor substrate to measure the multi-axis magnetic field of an arbitrary region with high spatial resolution, reduced sensing distance, higher measurement throughput, motion tolerance, temperature tolerance, and improved manufacturing yield. A multi-axis magnetic sensor array device fabricated on a common semiconductor substrate is optimized offering additional improvements to reduce measurement time, increase spatial resolution uniformity, and lower thermal compensation cost. Further, the central area of a surface is utilized to measure the normal magnetic field. A perimeter of Hall effect plates measuring the components of the magnetic field in the plane of the measuring surface, which allows for a very high density of normal field measurements allows calculation of the in-plane field components. Error along the edges can be mitigated with the in-plane measured components.

Abstract: A method for determining authenticity of a component in an imaging device is disclosed. Embodiments of the present disclosure provide for a method for a device to use an electronic authentication scheme to authenticate a second device while overcoming vulnerabilities associated with sending data over a communication bus when performing authentication, by using information other than that transmitted over the shared bus as authentication parameters. Embodiments utilize the current drawn by a chip from a power source when the chip performs an operation in response to a command as an authentication parameter.
