    摘要: A tamper-resistant memory is formed by placing a solid-state memory array between metal wiring layers in the upper portion of an integrated circuit (back-end of the line). The metal layers form a mesh that surrounds the memory array to protect it from picosecond imaging circuit analysis, side channel attacks, and delayering with electrical measurement. Interconnections between a memory cell and its measurement circuit are designed to protect each layer below, i.e., an interconnecting metal portion in a particular metal layer is no smaller than the interconnecting metal portion in the next lower layer. The measurement circuits are shrouded by the metal mesh. The substrate, metal layers and memory array are part of a single monolithic structure. In an embodiment adapted for a chip identification protocol, the memory array contains a physical unclonable function identifier that uniquely identifies the tamper-resistant integrated circuit, a symmetric encryption key and a release key.

    摘要: A technique relates to biasing, using a control system, a crossbar array of resistive processing units (RPUs) under a midrange condition, the midrange condition causing resistances of the RPUs to result in a random output of low values and high values in about equal proportions. The control system reinforces the low values and the high values of the random output by setting the resistances of the RPUs to a state that forces the low values and the high values having resulted from the midrange condition. Reinforcing the low values and the high values makes the random output permanent even when the crossbar array of the RPUs is not biased under the midrange condition. The control system records a sequence of the low values and the high values of the random output responsive to reinforcing the low values and the high values of the random output.

    摘要: A method and system for improving a hyper-video navigational process is provided. The method includes automatically tracking user exploration paths of users within a hyper video space comprising a video stream. Hotspot video frames are extracted from the hyper video space. Conversations associated with the user interactions are linked with spatial temporal regions of the hotspot video frames. Common attributes of the user exploration paths are associated with common aspects of the conversations and specified user view personas of the video stream are detected. Visual trajectory paths are extracted and a particular user persona is assigned to the hyper video space. In response, the hyper video space is automatically navigated.
