  • Publication number: 20250239540
    Abstract: A system includes an input for receiving a data representation of a semiconductor device. The semiconductor device has a device body with a first side and an opposing second side, the first side being separated from the second side by a thickness of the device body, a first side separated from an opposing second side by the thickness, and one or more semiconductor dies. The system also includes a laser configured to emit a collimating beam and one or more processors, coupled with memory. The processors are configured to process the data representation of the semiconductor device to construct a pattern of protection features based on locations of the one or more semiconductor dies on the semiconductor device and actuate the laser to emit the collimating beam to create protection features in the semiconductor device according to the pattern, while maintaining the thickness of the device body within a threshold range.

  • Publication number: 20210211287
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are embodiments of systems, methods, and products for authentication using entropic threshold. A server may require a user to create a series of security questions to which only the user has the answers. The answers to the security questions may satisfy an entropic threshold. Based on the answers to the security questions, the client device may generate a passphrase and encrypt the user's private key based on the passphrase. The server may also store the encrypted private key and the series of security questions into a database. When the user tries to access the private key, the server may send the user's security questions and encrypted private key. The client device may require the user to provide the answer to each security question. When the client device receives answers to all security questions, the client device may use the resulting passphrase to decrypt the user's encrypted private key.
