Magnetic logic unit (mlu) device for authentication
A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11921835B2) discloses a magnetic logic unit (MLU)-based magnetic device designed with multiple MLU cells, each consisting of ferromagnetic layers separated by a spacing layer. The device includes an input device to change the magnetization orientation, a bit line for measuring resistance, and a processing unit. The input signal generates a read magnetic field with varying magnitudes, allowing the processing unit to compute an electrical variation signature based on the sense of different MLU cells switching at different magnetic field strengths. The processing unit also includes a comparison circuit to compare the electrical variation signature with a reference signature, providing information on the match or non-match between the two.
Furthermore, the MLU device can be configured to generate physical unclonable functions (PUFs) where the read magnetic field serves as a challenge and the output signal as a response. The device can also be used in an authentication method involving changing the magnetization orientation, measuring resistance, and computing electrical variations based on the magnetic field strength. The method includes steps such as varying the magnitude of the read magnetic field, computing electrical variations, and outputting an electrical variation signature corresponding to the switching behavior of different MLU cells at varying magnetic field strengths. Additionally, the method involves computing noise spectral density signatures to enhance the authentication process, providing valuable insights into the device's performance and reliability.
