1. A method for generating at least one identifier for uniquely identifying an electronic device, wherein the electronic device contains a number of static storage elements, and wherein the method comprises: cycling power provided to the static storage elements multiple times; reading values of the static storage elements after the power cycling to collect a set of power-up states; repeating the cycling and reading for multiple environmental temperatures of the device to collect the sets of power-up states for the multiple environmental temperatures; determining expected values of the power-up states for the static storage elements from the collected sets of power-up states; computing probabilities that the expected values of the power-up states will be assumed by the static storage elements; and computing the at least one identifier from the collected sets of power-up states and the computed probabilities.
