World's First "Unclonable" RFID Chip

An anonymous reader writes to tell us that a new RFID chip from Verayo claims to be unclonable through the use of the new Physical Unclonable Functions (PUF), sort of an electronic DNA for silicon chips. "Basic passive RFID chips can be easily cloned by copying the data residing on one chip to another. Verayo's PUF-based RFID chips cannot be cloned, and provide a very strong and robust authentication mechanism. No other chip or device can be disguised as the original chip, even if the data is copied from one Verayo RFID chip to another."

    Dewey, what part of this looks like authorities should be involved?

    I'd take your bet, but odds are, it's already been cloned.

    Texas A&M may be able to find an organic replacement for the silicon used in the chip, and then implant it in farm animals to further research on the effects of "I can't beleive its NOT silicon" based RFID chips in them.

    I have an unhackable computer. I would give you the IP, but it's not hooked up to the Internet. Or any other network. Also, it's powered off and buried 300 feet underground in a 6 foot thick lead-lined vault. On Pluto.
