Cybersecurity Specialization · Cohort 2025

Beyond-Transistors: Next Generation Hardware Security Primitves Using Spintronic Devices

The primary objective of this project is to explore the potential of spintronic devices as a foundation for next-generation hardware security primitives. It aims to understand the limitations of traditional CMOS-based hardware in addressing emerging security threats and to investigate how spin-based devices offer inherent advantages like non-volatility, variability, and tamper resistance. The project will also focus on designing and analyzing basic hardware security primitives, such as True Random Number Generators (TRNGs), Hardware Watermarks and Logic Locking.
