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.

Optimizating Emerging Nonvolatile Memories for Dual-Mode Applications: Data Storage and Key Generator

TL;DR: A new memory-based PUF that exploits the nonvolatility and random variability of emerging memory technologies to produce random bits and a general method to find the optimal design point of emerging nonvolatile memory (eNVM)-based PUFs is proposed.

Model building attacks on Physically Unclonable Functions using genetic programming

TL;DR: This work has demonstrated the feasibility of a computationally simple scheme to model FPGA-based PUFs, and it is believed this work will pave the way for similar attempts to attack more sophisticated PUF implementations.

Improved ring oscillator PUF on FPGA and its properties

TL;DR: This work provides a more detailed description of the PUF design on FPGA and the behaviour of ROs with varying supply voltage and offers more output bits with required statistical properties from each RO pair than the classical approach.

Practical security analysis of PUF-based two-player protocols

TL;DR: This paper presents an attack on two recent OT- and BC-protocols which have been introduced at CRYPTO 2011, discusses countermeasures against the attack, and shows that interactive hashing is suited to enhance the security of PUF-based OT and BC, albeit at the price of an increased round complexity.

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.
