The QDID PUF IP page reviewed on 12 November 2026 describes a patented PUF using quantum tunnelling current variations through the gate terminal in any standard CMOS process, based on oxide thickness variations and defects, as a basis for hardware root-of-trust.
Crypto Quantique QDID PUF is licensable CMOS PUF IP for hardware root-of-trust and device identity.
Stated benefits include secure provisioning without factory key injection/HSMs, on-the-fly identities not stored in memory, high-entropy seeds up to 256-bit security strength, and built-in side-channel resistance. Certification/compliance claims include PSA Level 2 Ready and CC EAL4+ compliant. Environmental operating data cites >25 years lifetime between −40°C and 125°C. Randomness health tests named: NIST SP 800-22 and SP 800-90B. Process verification is stated on TSMC, GF, and UMC across Bulk CMOS, FDSOI, and FinFET from 55 nm down to 12 nm. Applications listed include key generation, device ID/authentication/provisioning, PQC, and supply-chain security. Official QDID page presents embeddable PUF IP for SoC integration.
