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.

A ReRAM Physically Unclonable Function (ReRAM PUF)-Based Approach to Enhance Authentication Security in Software Defined Wireless Networks

TL;DR: A novel security protocol based on physical unclonable functions (PUFs) known as hardware security primitives to enhance the authentication security in SDWNs is proposed and the effectiveness of the proposed multi-state machine learning technique to predict the drifts of the PUFs’ responses in different temperature and biased conditions is presented.

On Foundation and Construction of Physical Unclonable Functions.

TL;DR: A helper data algorithm (HDA) is proposed that is secure against active attacks and significantly reduces PUF implementation overhead compared to previous HDAs and integrates PUF construction into block cipher design to implement an efficient physical unclonable pseudorandom permutation (PUPRP); to the best of the knowledge, this is the first practical PUPRP using an integrated approach.

Breaking the Lightweight Secure PUF: Understanding the Relation of Input Transformations and Machine Learning Resistance

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors take a closer look at one aspect of machine learning attacks that has not yet gained the needed attention: the generation of the sub-challenges in XOR Arbiter PUFs fed to the individual Arbiters.

SCAPACH: Scalable Password-Changing Protocol for Smart Grid Device Authentication

TL;DR: A SCalable and Automated PAssword- CHanging protocol, SCAPACH, for unique authentication of human personnel (operator) and secure collection of telemetric data from a large number of pole devices is presented.

On the Encryption of the Challenge in Physically Unclonable Functions

TL;DR: This paper proposes a solution where the challenges of a Strong PUF are encrypted in order to remove the linear challenge-response correlation that can be exploited by attacks, and presents two implementations of the proposed solution.

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.
