Abstract: A triggerable circuitry for a Physically Unclonable Function (PUF) source and true random number generator comprises an array of metastable latches PUF cells units that produce output states in racing configuration dependent on manufacturing variations and noise fed into a counting circuit. The technology as a single circuit extracts detected random bits' states for true random numbers generation, different each time when requested, and is able to feed a PUF recovery system that will use the fairly static bits' patterns of the measured circuit although each time different.
