  • Abstract
    A resilient security system is defined to be a system, which even if a part of its security functions is broken, the system would not collapse and would re-synchronize its security confidence level. The paper proposes the use of evolvable, clone-resistant hardware security modules which are kept self-changing together with the operational-profile in a non-predictable, unknown manner by using self-configuring VLSI architectures. The usually non-useful Security by obscurity strategy becomes a usable design parameter. The proposed system security relies first on an initial physical hardwired clone-resistant identity module anchor having a crypto-significant e-DNA chain. A sample system setup would be demonstrated showing the operability of the system and its resilient highly-stable security level. It would be also shown how the system could resynchronize its security and does not collapse in case of breaking one of its ciphers or if a cloning attack becomes successful. The system is inspired mainly from the biological natural mode real life systems.
