  • Publication number: 20180316493
    Abstract: Apparatus and method for hashing a message, comprises using an array of individually selectable memristor cells. The memristor cells are subject to write disturb that affects cells neighboring a selected cell so that a write operation into one cell has a knock-on effect on the neighbors. The array is initiated into a known stable state so that these changes to neighboring cells are predictable according to proximity to the currently selected cell. An inserter sequentially mixes bits with the hash so far to insert bits into successively selected cells of the memristor array and forms a succession of memristor array states including the knock on effects on the neighboring cells. A final resulting memristor array state following input of the bits forms the hash of the message.

  • Publication number: 20180166137
    Abstract: Memory circuitry comprises memory cells having two terminals and a feedback path connected between the two terminals. The feedback path is used to adaptively amplify identical programming pulses that serve to change memory states of the memory cell, and the amplification is based on a current resistive level of the memory cell, which may for example be a multi-level memory cell.
