Description
TERNARY PHYSICAL UNCLONABLE FUNCTIONS (T-PUFS)
Score Rationale
PUFs (Physical Unclonable Functions) are a hardware security primitive for cryptographic authentication and key generation—not an AI/ML system. The award funds cryptographic hardware development, not machine learning models, autonomous systems, or data-driven inference. Problem framing is vague (security enhancement without operational context), and Lockheed Martin is a legacy prime contractor, not an AI-native firm.
