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 FPGA-based RO PUF with LUT-Based Self-Compare Structure and Adaptive Counter Time Period Tuning

TL;DR: The proposed PUF improves the uniqueness by LUT-based self-compare structure, which reduces the delay bias from systematic variations without special constraint on place & route and selection of challenge response pairs and improves the reliability by adaptive counter time period tuning based on real-time measured response stability.

Identification information generation device and identification information generation method

TL;DR: In this paper, the identification information generation device comprises an information separation means for separating a cryptographic key of k bits and second identification information of (r−m) bits (m is an integer equal to or larger than 1) from first identification information r bits (r is aninteger equal to larger than 2) outputted from an identification information output means which is impossible to physically duplicated and outputs the same response to the same request for response.

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.
