Integrated circuit logic lock based on a magnetic tunnel junction for chip security

Next-generation electronic devices could feature enhanced security systems built directly into their circuitry to help fend off malicious attacks. Protective "logic locks"—based on an advanced branch of electronics called spintronics—could be incorporated into the integrated circuits of electronic chips to defend chip security, KAUST researchers have shown. Their study is published in IEEE Access.
