A transient effect ring oscillator (TERO) is a special case of a ring oscillator (RO) design that exhibits increased sensitivity to intrinsic noise. It can serve as a basis for implementing a true random number generator (TRNG) or a physically unclonable function (PUF). Also, [it can serve] as a digital sensor for detecting insertion of malicious hardware logic (Trojans) in digital circuits. 1, record 1, English, - transient%20effect%20ring%20oscillator
