Abstract

A rewritable micro-Thick low power memristor device is presented. The memristor is fabricated based on a novel structure that is composed of Al/TiO2/Cu. The device switches at 3X lower voltage compared to the existing bipolar memristor state of the art at the microscale. The fabricated device exhibits unique I-V characteristic among similar devices when operated without prior electroforming. Thus, a new secure communication technique is proposed based on the existence of third trust party (TTP). As each host has unique memristor device, messages can be encrypted and decrypted securely using memristor based keys. In addition, Scyther analysis are provided to prove the security of the proposed technique. This work takes advantage of the inherited variation of memristor device electric characteristics to strengthen security algorithm in cryptographic application.
