      abstract = {This thesis describes novel devices for the secure  identification of objects or electronic systems. The  identification relies on the the atomic-scale uniqueness of  semiconductor devices by measuring a macroscopic quantum  property of the system in question. Traditionally, objects  and electronic systems have been securely identified by  measuring specific characteristics: common examples include  passwords, fingerprints used to identify a person or an  electronic device, and holograms that can tag a given  object to prove its authenticity. Unfortunately, modern  technologies also make it possible to circumvent these  everyday techniques. Variations in quantum properties are  amplified by the existence of atomic-scale imperfections.  As such, these devices are the hardest possible systems to  clone. They also use the least resources and provide robust  security. Hence they have tremendous potential significance  as a means of reliably telling the good guys from the bad.},
