Physical unclonable functions for device authentication and secret key generation

TLDR
This work presents PUF designs that exploit inherent delay characteristics of wires and transistors that differ from chip to chip, and describes how PUFs can enable low-cost authentication of individual ICs and generate volatile secret keys for cryptographic operations.
Abstract
Physical Unclonable Functions (PUFs) are innovative circuit primitives that extract secrets from physical characteristics of integrated circuits (ICs). We present PUF designs that exploit inherent delay characteristics of wires and transistors that differ from chip to chip, and describe how PUFs can enable low-cost authentication of individual ICs and generate volatile secret keys for cryptographic operations.

Entropy analysis of physical unclonable functions

R Robbert Berg, +1 more
TL;DR: A novel method is presented which estimates the extractable entropy by calculating the mutual information between enrollment and reconstruction measurements, and a method to determine uniqueness from the field of biometrics is modified in such a way that the entropy of PUFs can be estimated.

Theory and Application of Delay Constraints in Arbiter PUF

TL;DR: An algorithm to enumerate certain sets of delay constraints for the widely studied Arbiter PUF (APUF) circuit is presented, then it is demonstrated how these delay constraints can be utilized to expand the set of known Challenge--Response Pairs (CRPs), thus facilitating model-building attacks.

Evaluation of a PUF device authentication scheme on a discrete 0.13um SRAM

TL;DR: In this paper, a real SRAM Physically Unclonable Function (PUF) was evaluated on a discrete 0.13um SRAM, and the PUF result showed that this scheme indeed works well.

Duty-Cycle-Based Controlled Physical Unclonable Function

TL;DR: A variable duty-cycle-based ring oscillator circuit is proposed as a controlled and reconfigurable PUF primitive using duty cycle comparisons instead of the conventional frequency comparisons to generate the output bit response.

Sensor Based PUF IoT Authentication Model for a Smart Home with Private Blockchain

TL;DR: This paper delineates combination of BlockChain and Sensor based PUF authentication mechanism for solving real-time but non-repudiable access to IoT devices in a Smart Home by utilizing a mining less consensus mechanism for the provision of immutable assurance to users' and IoT devices' transactions i.e. commands, status alerts, actions etc.

Physical one-way functions

TL;DR: The concept of fabrication complexity is introduced as a way of quantifying the difficulty of materially cloning physical systems with arbitrary internal states as primitives for physical analogs of cryptosystems.

Silicon physical random functions

TL;DR: It is argued that a complex integrated circuit can be viewed as a silicon PUF and a technique to identify and authenticate individual integrated circuits (ICs) is described.

Tamper resistance: a cautionary note

TL;DR: It is concluded that trusting tamper resistance is problematic; smartcards are broken routinely, and even a device that was described by a government signals agency as 'the most secure processor generally available' turns out to be vulnerable.

Extracting secret keys from integrated circuits

TL;DR: It is shown that arbiter-based PUFs are realizable and well suited to build key-cards that need to be resistant to physical attacks and to be identified securely and reliably over a practical range of environmental variations such as temperature and power supply voltage.
