Philips Intrinsic ID

Innovative security throughout
the value chain

With its potential to enable intrinsic security throughout the value chain, Philips Intrinsic ID’s PUF technology opens the way to new and simpler business relationships. Crucially, it allows IP to be made widely available without the fear of cloning. There is no need for complex contractual agreements. The prospective IP buyers simply register their hardware and receive the IP along with a unique activation code.

Ultimately, designers may be able to visit online IP stores, where they can drag and drop IP into their design to evaluate its functionality before they buy – with complete security for the seller and maximum convenience for the designer.
