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 noise bifurcation architecture for linear additive physical functions

TL;DR: This work presents the first architecture for linear additive physical functions where the noise seen by the adversary and the noise see by the verifier are bifurcated by using a randomized decimation technique and a novel response recovery method at an authentication verification server.

CMOS Image Sensor Based Physical Unclonable Function for Coherent Sensor-Level Authentication

TL;DR: The proposed PUF exploits the intrinsic imperfection during the image sensor manufacturing process to generate unique and reliable digital signatures and stabilizes the response bits extracted from the random fixed pattern noises of selected pixel pairs determined by the applied challenge against supply voltage and temperature variations.

A Comprehensive Framework for Counterfeit Defect Coverage Analysis and Detection Assessment

TL;DR: A comprehensive framework has been developed to find an optimum set of detection methods considering test time, test cost, and application risks, and an assessment of all the detection methods based on the newly introduced metrics – counterfeit defect coverage, under- covered defects, and not-covered defects.

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.
