32. Device electronic signature
The device electronic signature is stored in the System memory area of the Flash memory module, and can be read using the debug interface or by the CPU. It contains factory-programmed identification and calibration data that allow the user firmware or other external devices to automatically match to the characteristics of the STM32F37xxx microcontroller.
32.1 Unique device ID register (96 bits)
The unique device identifier is ideally suited:
- • for use as serial numbers (for example USB string serial numbers or other end applications)
- • for use as part of the security keys in order to increase the security of code in Flash memory while using and combining this unique ID with software cryptographic primitives and protocols before programming the internal Flash memory
- • to activate secure boot processes, etc.
The 96-bit unique device identifier provides a reference number which is unique for any device and in any context. These bits cannot be altered by the user.
