Intrinsic Physical Layer Authentication Of Integrated Circuits, William E. Cobb, Michael A. Temple, Rusty O. Baldwin, Eric W. Garcia, Eric D. Lapse May 2015

Intrinsic Physical Layer Authentication Of Integrated Circuits, William E. Cobb, Michael A. Temple, Rusty O. Baldwin, Eric W. Garcia, Eric D. Lapse

AFIT Patents

A system and method of generating and comparing a fingerprint for an integrated circuit is provided. A sensor module captures electromagnetic emissions from the integrated circuit. A feature extraction module extracts discriminating features from the captured electromagnetic emissions. A classifier training module generates a plurality of authentication fingerprints of the integrated circuit from the extracted discriminating features creating a reference fingerprint template for the integrated circuit. The reference template for the integrated circuit is stored in a database. For authentication, the reference fingerprint template from the database is compared to the generated authentication fingerprint.


Remote Sensing Of Hidden Objects, Mark G. Hoelscher, Michael A. Marciniak Mar 2015

Remote Sensing Of Hidden Objects, Mark G. Hoelscher, Michael A. Marciniak

AFIT Patents

An apparatus and method are provided for creating an indirect image of an object. The apparatus includes a light source and an imaging system. Light emitted from the light source is reflected by a first non-specular surface toward the object. Light reflected by the object is further reflected by a second non-specular surface toward the imaging system. The imaging system is configured to create the indirect image from the reflected light.


Low Clutter Method For Bistatic Rcs Measurements, Peter J. Collins Feb 2015

Low Clutter Method For Bistatic Rcs Measurements, Peter J. Collins

AFIT Patents

A bistatic radar measurement system is provided having a radar source configured to produce a radio frequency signal. A transmitting antenna is configured to transmit the radio frequency signal toward a target. A receiving antenna is configured to receive a reflected radio frequency signal from the target. A support system is configured to support the receiving antenna. The support system includes a plurality of low scattering dielectric strings configured to orient the receiving antenna.
