Electronics Authenticity Testing Using Comprehensive Two-Dimensional Gas Chromatography

Researchers at Purdue University have developed a new method for determining authenticity of electronics components using two-dimensional gas chromatography. Electronics release unique volatile gases that vary in age, origin, type, and manufacturer. Fraudulent electronics components pose a cybersecurity risk. Purdue researchers have used analytical tools including solid phase microextraction technology capable of sensing volatile media to create a secure database that correlates off gassing to electronic device authenticity.

Advantages:

-Efficient Authentication

-Secure Database

Potential Applications:

-Electronics Authenticity

-Chemicals Sensing and Detection

-Military and Defense
