Intrinsic ID

Intrinsic ID is a digital security solutions company founded in 2008, with headquarters in Sunnyvale, California, and an R&D facility in Eindhoven, the Netherlands. The company specializes in Physical Unclonable Functions (PUFs), which create unique digital identifiers for hardware security and authentication by leveraging manufacturing variations in integrated circuits.

The core innovation of Intrinsic ID is the SRAM PUF, which generates a robust digital fingerprint using standard SRAM memory behavior. This technology is essential for device-level security in embedded systems and IoT devices, enabling trusted authentication and protection against cloning or tampering. Intrinsic ID offers PUF-based security solutions integrated into microcontroller units, application-specific integrated circuits, field programmable gate arrays, and data processing units, focusing on sectors like automotive, data centers, and IoT ecosystems.

With over 600 million devices utilizing its solutions worldwide, Intrinsic ID serves major semiconductor and technology companies. The company was recently acquired by Synopsys to enhance its hardware security offerings and establish a center of excellence for PUF technology.
