We argue that analog circuits offer higher security than existing digital PUFs and that the CNN paradigm allows us to build large, unclonable, and scalable analog PUFs, which still show a stable and repeatable input-output behavior. CNNs are dynamical arrays of locally-interconnected cells, with a cell dynamics that depends upon the interconnection strengths to their neighbors. They can be designed to evolve in time according to partial differential equations. If this If this equation describes a physical phenomenon, then the CNN can simulate a complex physical system on-chip. This can be exploited to create electrical PUFs with high relevant structural information content. To illustrate our paradigm at work, we design a circuit that directly emulates nonlinear wave propagation phenomena in a random media. It effectively translates the complexity of optical PUFs into electrical circuits.","PeriodicalId":336891,"journal":{"name":"2010 12th International Workshop on Cellular Nanoscale Networks and their Applications (CNNA 2010)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-03-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114969996","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Detection of crosswalks is carried out by a partially adaptive CNN algorithm that also considers the perspective distortion of the objects to be detected. Using the new segmentation method we get much better estimations for the road surface area, which results in better overall recognition rates.","PeriodicalId":336891,"journal":{"name":"2010 12th International Workshop on Cellular Nanoscale Networks and their Applications (CNNA 2010)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-03-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128753242","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Fabricated in a commercially-available 0.35 ¿m CMOS technology, the system can be intrinsically used for both optical imaging and pH sensing and includes mechanisms for calibrating out sensor variation and mismatch. In addition to sensory acquisition via an integrated 10-bit ADC, a 64-instruction spatiotemporal pattern generator has been embedded within the array for driving the microscale magnetic neural stimulation. In this application the ISFET-based sensors are used to capacitively-couple neuronal charge in close proximity to the floating gate.

Kyamakya, J. Chedjou, M. Latif, U.A. Khan","doi":"10.1109/CNNA.2010.5430259","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1109/CNNA.2010.5430259","url":null,"abstract":"In this paper, a systematic discussion of both pros and cons of two well-known traditional approaches for image contrast enhancement is conducted. The first approach is based on the CNN paradigm and the second one is based on the coupled nonlinear oscillators' paradigm for image processing. In the later case an extensive bifurcation analysis is carried out and analytical formulas are derived to define the various states of the system. Both equilibrium and oscillatory states of the system are depicted. It is shown that each of these states has a significant impact on the quality of the resulting image contrast enhancement. A benchmarking is considered whereby a comparison is performed between the results obtained by a CNN-based processing, on one side, with those obtained by a 'coupled non linear oscillators' based processing, on the other side. The superiority of the later approach (for contrast enhancement) is demonstrated both analytically and through various experiments. A major drawback of the CNN based image processing is the practical inability to adjust/re-calculate templates in real-time in face of a dynamic scene with input images experiencing visibility and/or lighting related spatio-temporal dynamics. Finally, a novel hybrid approach integrating both schemes in an efficient way is proposed: the 'coupled nonlinear oscillators' based image processing is the main processing scheme that is however realized on top of a CNN processors' framework. The hybrid approach does prove to overcome key practical problems faced by both original approaches.","PeriodicalId":336891,"journal":{"name":"2010 12th International Workshop on Cellular Nanoscale Networks and their Applications (CNNA 2010)","volume":"50 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-03-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127607613","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
