Physical Unclonable Functions are emerging cryptographic primitives used to implement low-cost device authentication and secure secret key generation. In this paper we propose an innovative design based on STT-MRAM memory. We exploit the high variability affecting the electrical resistance of the MTJ device in anti-parallel magnetization.

Quantitative evaluation of reliability and performance for STT-MRAM [PDF]
Due to its non-volatility, high access speed, ultra low power consumption and unlimited writing/reading cycles, STT-MRAM (Spin Transfer Torque Magnetic Random Access Memory) has emerged as the most promising candidate for the next generation universal memory.

Joint Optimization of Codeword Bit Distribution and Detection Threshold for Asymmetric STT-MRAM Channel [PDF]
Asymmetric error characteristics in spin-transfer torque magnetic random-access memory (STT-MRAM), particularly the imbalance between logical ‘0’ and ‘1’ error probabilities, can significantly degrade system reliability under conventional modulation and ...

PSA-STT-MRAM solution for extended temperature stability [PDF]
The concept of Perpendicular Shape Anisotropy (PSA) spin transfer torque (STT) MRAM has been recently proposed as a solution to achieve downsize scalability of MRAM below sub-10 nm technology nodes, down to 3-4 nm cell size lateral dimensions. In conventional p-STT-MRAM, at sub-20 nm diameters, the perpendicular anisotropy arising from the MgO/CoFeB ...
