Abstract
A device includes a first memory circuit, a second memory circuit and a processing circuit. The memory circuit is configured to store a distinguishable identification (ID). The second memory circuit is configured to store first hash data, wherein the first hash data is generated according to the distinguishable ID. The processing circuit is configured to generate second hash data according to the distinguishable ID when the device is powered on, and to compare the first hash data and the second hash data to determine whether the second hash data matches the first hash data.
