Flexible systems-in-foil for reliable electronics

PUF core for the unambiguous identification of a
component or the secure encryption of information.

In the SensIC joint project, the BMBF is funding the development of reliable electronic components that are integrated directly into machine components and determine safety-relevant sensor data there. In the future, an intelligent rubber hose will be able to detect overloads and damage at an early stage and thus enable safe operation. Researchers at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) are developing a central component for this purpose: printed safety circuits with special hardware-based functions, so-called Physical Unclonable Functions (PUFs). IMS CHIPS supports KIT in a development contract with hybrid foil systems and integration technologies.
