    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to configuring at least one pair of devices in a physical unclonable function (PUF) apparatus and reading out at least one pair of devices for determining a persistent random PUF output. The pair of devices may be readout by measuring a physical difference between the devices/components caused by random manufacturing differences, which may then be used to determine a persistence random PUF output. Configuring the pair of devices includes measuring the random manufacturing difference and, based on that measurement, setting a readout condition for the pair of devices, which dictates aspects of the readout process that should be used for that pair of devices. Each time the pair of devices is readout in the future, it may be readout in accordance with the condition that was set at configuration.

    Abstract: Systems, apparatuses, methods, and computer-readable media for implementing confidential computing of one or more computing systems and/or devices using component authentication and data encryption with integrity and anti-replay mechanisms are disclosed. In some examples, the systems, apparatuses, methods, and computer-readable media described herein can perform various techniques, including one or more secure boot processes, component and data authentication, and data encryption with integrity and anti-replay, among other secure techniques. One implementation may include executing secure boot process based on authentication of a device identifier stored in a secure physical object of a processing device. Another implementation may include encrypting and storing a counter value corresponding to a cache line and generating an integrity tag value replacing error correction code bits associated with the cache line with the generated cache line tag value.
