Imagine every computer chip has a unique, invisible fingerprint created by tiny accidental flaws during manufacturing. This project makes those fingerprints incredibly complex, like a master-level vault lock that is impossible to copy or guess. It ensures that a device is exactly who it claims to be, preventing hackers from spoofing identities.
Current anti-counterfeiting chips have low entropy (max 4 Kbit), making them vulnerable to brute-force and AI-based cyber attacks. This allows bad actors to clone identities and create fake products that bypass security checks.
A proprietary silicon integrated circuit implementing high-entropy physical unclonable functions (HE-PUFs) with a two-stage architecture.
If you are a luxury brand dealing with counterfeit replicas — this project developed a silicon-based identity chip that provides a world-record resilience to brute force attacks. It allows you to verify authentic products using a managed solution rather than just a simple label.
If you are a manufacturer dealing with insecure device networks — this project developed high-entropy PUFs with over 8 Mb of entropy. This prevents AI-based attacks from stealing device identities and compromising your network.
If you are a provider dealing with chip cloning and IP theft — this project developed a two-stage PUF architecture. It creates a unique digital response to challenges that is repeatable over time and resistant to side-channel attacks.
Based on available project data, the company is moving away from selling individual chips or licensing IP toward a business model that provides a fully managed solution to industrial customers.
The project involves the design and fabrication of silicon integrated circuits through foundries, indicating a path toward industrial scale, though specific volume capacities are not listed.
The project utilizes proprietary silicon integrated circuits. Based on available project data, the business model focuses on managed services rather than traditional IP licensing.
The solution is implemented as a silicon integrated circuit using a mixed analog/digital chip design, which can be integrated into devices requiring secure identity management.
The project period runs from 2024-07-01 to 2027-06-30, with the first year focusing on design and fabrication of the first generation chips.
The project is led by a single Italian SME, QUANTAVIS SRL, which holds 100% of the industry ratio. This lean structure suggests a highly focused commercial drive, as the coordinator is the sole partner and is directly responsible for both the technological development and the business viability of the managed solution.
