Details

The project aims to design and 3D model a functional prototype of an ammolite-powered microchip, leveraging the unique optical properties of ammolite to enhance security features. The primary goal is to integrate Physical Unclonable Functions (PUFs) and quantum-resistant cryptographic protocols into the design, providing unparalleled security and authentication. This project offers learners the opportunity to apply their knowledge of advanced circuit design and cryptography in a simulated, practical setting. The 3D model will serve as a foundational concept for visualizing and refining the product, with the potential for large-scale implementation across various industries. The project focuses on creating a secure and efficient microchip concept that can withstand emerging security threats, ensuring robust protection for sensitive data.


Deliverables

Key Objectives:


Design the layout and architecture for the microchip, integrating ammolite layers using advanced 3D modeling techniques.


Develop secure circuit designs and incorporate quantum-resistant cryptographic protocols into the microchip's architecture.


Simulate and analyze the 3D model for durability, functionality, and security.


Refine the 3D design based on simulation and analysis results to ensure scalability and reliability for future physical prototyping.



Expected Deliverables:


A detailed 3D model of the ammolite-powered microchip, showcasing its architecture and functionality.


Comprehensive technical documentation, including 3D schematics, simulation procedures, and results.


A set of recommendations for further optimization, physical prototyping, and potential scalability.
