A circuit for monitoring a circuit payload, includes a plurality of sensors distributed in the circuit, next to the predefined circuit payload; one or more memory units associated with the one or more sensors configured to store sensors' measures made by the one or more associated sensors, every p clock cycles; wherein the circuit is configured to read the sensors' measures stored in at least some of the memory units. Embodiments comprise the use of digital sensors, or analogical sensors coupled with digital converters; the use of FIFO type memory units, adjustments of the depths of the memory units; the use of Finite State Machines configured to cause the circuit to receive sensors' measures; the use of data obfuscation and/or reduction modules; the use of a signature circuit, the use of circuits configured to determine one or more attacks from the sensors' measures.

Circuit configured to monitor a sensitive payload for attack detection

A circuit for a Synthetic Physically Unclonable Function, acronym SPUF, in a computer device, wherein the circuit is configured to receive data from a plurality of hardware sensors and/or actuators accessible in the computer device; to determine deviations in the data; to determine a multivariate distribution of the deviations and to determine an identifier from the multivariate distribution. In described developments, deviations comprise random errors, statistical moments in data originating from sensors and/or actuators amongst accessible ones in the computer device can be selected, and entropy can be maximized. Computer program product embodiments are described.
