A method for producing a PUF-film includes printing a layer of dielectric material on a film substrate, such that a variable thickness of the layer is obtained by the printing. The method includes arranging a structured electrode layer on the dielectric material such that the structured electrode layer is influenced with respect to an electric measurement value due to the variable thickness.

The present invention discloses an INS network-based anti-fault attack method of random infection, comprising the steps of sending the plain-text into an encryption processor, wherein two groups of cipher text are outputted through temporal or spatial redundancy; conducting XOR operation) on the two groups of said cipher text output to obtain the output difference; sending the said output difference into an infection function module to initiate an infection operation to obtain the infection result; conducting XOR operation on any of said groups of cipher text output to generate the final output. The present invention can realize the randomization of infection function in infection countermeasures, reduce the successful probability of fault attack and improve the safety of the circuit.

A technique for securing on-board bus transactions in a computing device is discussed. A shared key is generated and then programmed into the read-only non-volatile write-once storage of two on-board components. The shared key may be generated during the manufacturing process. Once complete, all transactions between the two on-board components are encrypted by the components using the shared key without exposing the key on any external bus.

An extended hardware security module (“HSM”) possessing additional security properties relative to conventional HSMs and methods for initializing, deploying, and managing such extended HSMs in a networked environment. In the preferred embodiment, an extended HSM includes additional hardware and software components that configure it to run sensitive client tasks on demand inside a cloud-hosted, anti-tamper HSM housing so as to ensure sensitive data is encrypted when stored or processed outside the housing. Methods for initializing, deploying, and managing provide a framework through which extended HSMs may be secured from their initial assembly through their availing for use and actual use over a network by one or more clients. Such use often entails repeated discrete sequential secure sessions and concurrent discrete secure sessions.

An information processing apparatus for encrypting or decrypting data by AES scheme, includes a processor; and a memory storing a first table including mixed components based on exclusive OR of first random components and key data, a second table, and a third table. The processor executes selecting four bytes of sub-round data from the data; a first transformation based on the first table, for each of one-byte data items of the sub-round data, to generate first data by taking exclusive OR of the one-byte data items and the mixed components; a second transformation based on the second table to transform the first data into second data; a third transformation based on the third table to transform the second data into multiple items of third data; calculating exclusive OR of the third data.

Methods and systems for encrypting data are disclosed. A circuit uses a white noise generator to capture a random string of bits as an encryption key. The encryption key is generated at a central server and is provided to a subscriber on a physical memory device. The subscriber uses the encryption key to encrypt a source data file. The encrypted data file is sent to the central server, which uses the encryption key to decrypt the encrypted data file and to recover the source data file. The file name for the source data file may be encrypted into the encrypted data file and a new name assigned to the encrypted data file. A random number index may be used to identify the starting point of the encrypted file.
