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 zero-overhead IC identification technique using clock sweeping and path delay analysis

TL;DR: There is no overhead in terms of area, timing, or power for this method, since it extracts the intrinsic path delay variation information of the IC through path delay analysis.

A Novel Aging Tolerant RO-PUF for Low Power Application

TL;DR: A modified aging tolerant architecture for ring oscillator based PUF (RO-PUF) in which the conventional CMOS based ROs are replaced by modified RO, which shows high tolerance to aging as compared to existing RO.

Apparatus, system and method for providing cryptographic key information with physically unclonable function circuitry

TL;DR: In this paper, a cryptographic engine receives a value from PUF circuitry and based on the value, outputs a result of a cryptographic operation to a bus of a security module, which couples the cryptographic engine to control logic or interface logic of the security module.

Cryptographic key generation using a stored input value and a stored count value

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe a processor that includes non-volatile storage storing an input value and a count value, and logic to generate a cryptographic key based on the stored input values and the stored count values.

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.
