Hardware attacks involve physical reverse engineering efforts to steal sensitive information, such as encryption keys and circuit designs. Encryption and obfuscation are representative countermeasures, but they are nullified if adversaries manage to find the key. To address this issue, we propose e-Cryptex, which utilizes a Physically Unclonable Function (PUF) as an anti-tampering shield. PUF acts as a random number generator and relies on unique physical variants that cannot be replicated or restored to enhance anti-tampering mechanisms. e-Cryptex uses PUF as a shield to protect the system's structure and generate the key. Tampering with the shield will result in the destruction of the key. This paper demonstrates that e-Cryptex meets PUF security requirements and is effective in detecting of tampering attempts that pierce or completely destroy the shield. Each board consistently generates the same key under normal conditions, while also showing key uniqueness across different boards.

There are management and security of software source code equivalent to 10 assembly lines of important infrastructure in the early stage of information society directly. A support technology and framework to protect software source code are so poor state In this paper, the proposed model that is support protection and access control between software source code as object and subject that is not authenticated safely was named CRYPTEX model. And we propose active business model to provide delegate, mobile, and security/access control function for passive software source code in document state using CRYPTEX.

The software industry is so important to the 21C information society Not only the digital content control but the technology of software source code for the intellectual property is so much mean to international competition. On occurring disputation property of software source code, we have to prove the fact, there is a problem to discriminate the original software source code. In this paper, we make a study of the digital licence prototype for discriminate the original source code. Reserved words of software source code by parsing express to XML file that have hierarchical structure. Then, we can express node pattern and architecture pattern of software source code by tree structure form instead of complex software source code. And we make a simulation of discrimination possibility of digital license and propose CRYPTEX model.
