30 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 STM32F05xxx microcontroller.
30.1 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.
