SIMULATION MODEL AUTHENTICATION - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18171384 titled 'SIMULATION MODEL AUTHENTICATION
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a method of using a semiconductor device characterization description to generate a model authentication code (MAC) and transmit it to a model interface (MI).
- The method involves accessing the semiconductor device characterization description.
- It also involves accessing a first starter code.
- A first MAC is generated based on the semiconductor device characterization description and the first starter code.
- The first starter code, the first MAC, and the semiconductor device characterization description are transmitted to a model interface (MI).
Potential Applications
This technology could be applied in the fields of semiconductor manufacturing, device authentication, and secure communication systems.
Problems Solved
This technology helps in ensuring the authenticity and security of semiconductor devices by generating a unique model authentication code based on their characterization description.
Benefits
The method provides a secure way to authenticate semiconductor devices, preventing unauthorized access or tampering.
Potential Commercial Applications
One potential commercial application of this technology could be in the development of secure hardware authentication systems for electronic devices.
Possible Prior Art
Prior art in this field may include methods of device authentication and secure communication systems using unique codes or identifiers.
Unanswered Questions
How does the method ensure the confidentiality of the generated authentication code?
The abstract does not provide details on how the confidentiality of the authentication code is maintained during transmission and storage.
Are there any limitations to the scalability of this method for large-scale semiconductor manufacturing?
It is not clear from the abstract whether this method can be easily scaled up for use in mass production settings without compromising efficiency or security.
