The fingerprints are not only unique, but also reliable with average hamming distances close to the ideal values of 50% (interchip) and 0% (intrachip). Instead of having one fingerprint per device, the memometer makes provision for hundreds with the potential for more.","PeriodicalId":431761,"journal":{"name":"EDFA Technical Articles","volume":"39 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122405869","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}
