  • Patent number: 11003075
    Abstract: Disclosed is a method of generating a physical unclonable function (PUF) by causing unpredictable partial process failure for a semiconductor process. In a designing process, a second mask pattern may be printed by distorting a size and/or shape of at least one mask window included in a designed first mask pattern, without violating semiconductor design rules. A PUF may be generated using a photomask including the printed second mask pattern for photolithography.

  • Patent number: 10263781
    Abstract: An IC chip for preventing an authentication key from leaking, and an authentication key setting and authentication key verifying method are provided. A part performing connection or disconnection between an external terminal and a smartcard chip may be configured by a separate chip or may be incorporated into the smartcard chip to configure a single chip. When the part is configured by the separate chip, the disconnection between the external terminal and the smart card chip can be performed according to whether an authentication key is verified. When the part is configured by the one chip, the disconnection between the external terminal and the smart card chip can be performed under a control of the smartcard chip according to whether the authentication key is verified.
