Barricade provides fast, nondestructive authentication of electronics components. Is comprised of electronics component signal acquisition hardware and software. Validation process involves placing IC into a chip socket to receive confirmation of authenticity or detection of counterfeit or cloned components within seconds. Works on analog and digital devices. Determines authenticity based on electrical signatures and a classification algorithm that generates identity signatures for each class of chips in a given class of authentic devices. Requires only a few authentic chips to enroll an entire class of chips.
