PUF, security, IP binding, secure boot, key storage
This application note describes how to develop applications on NXP LPC
MCUs to provide strong protection for stored information and protect
against reverse engineering and cloning. The protection of this software
Intellectual Property (IP) is built on the use of an SRAM Physically
Unclonable Function (PUF). The SRAM PUF uses entropy in uninitialized
SRAM to create device unique keys that bind cryptographically protected
software IP to a specific device.
