Objective

The main aim of this project is to provide the security to data by using some additional transistor to SRAM cell. The leakage power is also reduced by using this design

Abstract

In this project, a security-oriented 7T SRAM cell is proposed to provide resiliency of the power analysis attacks, which incorporates an additional transistor to the original 6T SRAM implementation and a two-phase write operation, which significantly reduces the correlation between the stored data and the power consumption during write operations.Power analysis (PA) of current consumed by the power supply of the system have become a serious threat to any security systems by enabling secret data extraction through the analysis. Embedded memories, called Static Random Access Memory (SRAM) cells often implemented with six-transistor (6T), serves as a key component in many of these systems. However, the conventional SRAM cells are prone to side-channel power analysis attacks due to the correlation between their current characteristics and written data.
