A device-specific value is reliably generated in a device. In a first component of the device, a first digital value is generated that is substantially dependent fabrication variation among like device. Redundancy information is computed based on the first digital value. A subsequent digital value is...http://www.google.ca/patents/US20060271793?utm_source=gb-gplus-sharePatent US20060271793 - RELIABLE GENERATION OF A DEVICE-SPECIFIC VALUE
