  • Patent number: 11637982
    Abstract: A solid-state imaging device includes a pixel part, a reading part for reading a pixel signal from the pixel part and a response data generating part including a fuzzy extractor. The response data generating part generates response data including a unique key in association with at least one selected from among variation information of pixels and variation information of the reading part. The response data generating part generates, when regenerating a key, a unique key using helper data acquired in generation of an initial key, variation information acquired in the regeneration of the key, and reliability information determined based on the variation information acquired in the regeneration of the key.

  • Patent number: 11336857
    Abstract: A fuzzy extractor includes an initial key generating part including a true random number generator, and a key regenerating part. The true random number generator generates a true random number using a read-out signal read from the reading part or a pixel signal read from the pixels of the pixel part in a true random number generation mode. The initial key generating part generates helper data and an initial key based on the true random number generated by the true random number generator and variation information acquired as a response when the initial key is generated. The key regenerating part generates, when a key is regenerated, a unique key based on helper data acquired when the initial key is generated and variation information acquired as a response including an error when the key is regenerated.

  • Patent number: 10484638
    Abstract: A solid-state imaging device having a pixel portion in which a plurality of pixels each including a photodiode are arranged in rows and columns, a reading part for reading pixel signals from the pixel portion, and a key generation part which generates a unique key by using, as the key generation-use data, at least one of fluctuation information of pixels and fluctuation information of the reading part, wherein the key generation part includes a tamper resistance enhancement processing part for processing the key generation-use data to enhance the tamper resistance making it difficult to break the unique key as tamper resistance enhancement processing. Due to this, it is possible to generate a unique key having a high confidentiality. Further, it is possible to improve reproducibility and uniqueness of the unique ID, is possible to secure a high tamper resistance of the unique key, and consequently is possible to reliably prevent tampering and forgery of an image.

  • Patent number: 10382708
    Abstract: A solid-state imaging device 10 includes a pixel portion 20 in which a plurality of pixels including photodiodes are arranged in rows and columns, a reading part 90 for reading pixel signals from the pixel portion, and a key generation part 82 which generates a unique key by using at least one of pixel fluctuation information or reading part fluctuation information. According to this configuration, the tamper resistance of the unique key can be secured and consequently alteration and falsification of images can be prevented.
