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.

Integrated circuit tamper detection and response

TL;DR: The present disclosure relates to integrated circuits having tamper detection and response devices and methods for manufacturing such integrated circuits as discussed by the authors, which includes at least one photovoltaic cell coupled with a reactive material.

Analysis and Enhancement of Ring Oscillators Based Physical Unclonable Functions in FPGAs

TL;DR: It is shown that the designer of the Ring Oscillator PUFs implemented in FPGAs needs precise control of placement and routing in order to get unique responses and repeatable results for each individual device, especially when the rest of the reconfigurable device should remain up gradable.

Hardware trust implications of 3-D integration

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examine the 3D design approach and provide an analysis concluding that the commodity die system need not be independently trustworthy for the system of joined dies to provide certain trustworthy functions.

Design of low area-overhead ring oscillator PUF with large challenge space

TL;DR: Quality of the proposed scheme has been validated by the design of 60-bit ROPUF on Altera FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array) that is physically infeasible according to previously proposed direct design principles.

MVL‐PUFs: multiple‐valued logic physical unclonable functions

TL;DR: It is shown that by extracting device mismatch in either current‐mode or voltage‐mode MVL comparators, the proposed PUF circuits can generate unique and reliable chip identifiers and significantly improve the energy efficiency of the state‐of‐the‐art PUFs.

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.

Impact of die-to-die and within-die parameter fluctuations on the maximum clock frequency distribution for gigascale integration

TL;DR: In this paper, a model describing the maximum clock frequency distribution of a microprocessor is derived and compared with wafer sort data for a recent 0.25-/spl mu/m microprocessor.
