METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR PROVIDING HARDWARE SECURITY FUNCTIONS USING FLASH MEMORIES

摘要

Methods and system for providing a security function, such as random number generation, fingerprinting and data hiding, using a Flash memory. The methods and systems do not require carefully design specific circuits, can be implemented in all flash memory device. The fingerprinting methods and systems do not require a long time to generate a read and the data hiding is decoupled from Flash memory content.
