The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $450,000 Project Grant under the Engineering (CFDA 47.041) program to the University of Florida (UF) Division of Sponsored Research. This 3-year project, titled "CAMO: Counterfeit Attestation Module for Electronics Supply Chain Tracking and Provenance," aims to develop innovative solutions to address the growing problem of counterfeit electronics trafficking. The key products to be delivered through this grant include: 1) a novel "Resonant Frequency Lock-On" circuit for authenticating and detecting tampered printed circuit boards; 2) lightweight "Design-for-Anti-Counterfeit" primitives to identify recycled and cloned microchips; and 3) secure communication protocols to integrate these authentication capabilities into a centralized or decentralized digital ledger system. These capabilities are intended to provide scalable, convenient, and cost-effective detection of counterfeit electronics, benefiting both commercial and defense industries.
