- ESTES PARK, Colo., June 16, 2021 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Potomac Research LLC, a research collaborator of Verilock, along with the Ohio State University, has been selected by the Army to receive a $1.1M Sequential Phase II Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) to further develop the Entropy Extraction Device (EED).
- This builds on the previous $1.1M Phase II STTR and will be used for environmental and accelerated aging tests when used as a firmware update for FPGAs.
- "As the exclusive licensee of the EED's underlying technology, we see this award as a very positive signal of the commercial potential of our approach," said Jim Northup, CEO of Verilock.
- In essence, the device can extract more entropy, or randomness, from the chip's physical characteristics than a traditional PUF.
