Hardware and Software Products
Unclonable Chip
North River Labs' Physical Unclonable Function (PUF) generates a unique, unclonable digital fingerprint for user-defined chips, using manufacturing variations, enabling robust device authentication without stored keys.
Remote Kill Switch
Provides secure, AI-activated remote deactivation to isolate compromised devices, halting operations and preventing further threat propagation.
Confirmed Device ID
Leverages PUF-derived IDs to verify chip authenticity at boot and runtime, preventing counterfeits and ensuring only legitimate hardware operates in secure ecosystems.
Embedded Security
On-chip AI accelerators perform real-time threat analysis, anomaly detection, and adaptive policy enforcement directly in silicon for low-latency protection.
Verified Coms
Establishes trusted channels with PUF-based keys for encrypted, authenticated data exchange, protecting IoT and network traffic from interception and tampering.
Supply Chain PUF
Integrates PUF signatures into manufacturing flows for end-to-end provenance tracking and detection of tampering or substitution from fabrication to deployment.
“Fusing curiosity with deep collaboration and technical excellence to drive breakthroughs in AI, silicon, and security.”
Areas of Research
Microchip Hardware
Designing the next generation of microchips for artificial intelligence, security, and distributed network control.
The lab is engineering high-performance, low-power AI chips with built-in hardware security and primitives for resilient, distributed network control across edge and cloud systems.
Software and Firmware
Creating the next generation of software and firmware for security, data recording, and intelligent information action.
Building secure, firmware and connected software that capture, structure, and act on data in real time, ensuring every critical event can be protected, traced, and automated.
Artificial Intelligence
Designing AI for on‑chip, real-time threat analysis, network integrity, and IoT validation.
Developing embedded AI engines that run directly on silicon to inspect traffic, behaviors, and device states in microseconds, enabling continuous anomaly detection and policy enforcement at the edge. These on-chip models validate network flows and IoT activity against expected patterns, isolating suspicious events before they propagate across distributed systems.
