Practical DRAM PUFs in Commodity Devices
A Physically Unclonable Function (PUF) is a unique and stable physical characteristic of a piece of hardware, due to variations in the fabrication processes. Prior works have demonstrated that PUFs are a promising cryptographic primitive to enable hardware-based device authentication and identification. A diverse number of PUFs have been explored, e.g., delay-based PUFs in dedicated circuits, S...
متن کاملModeling Attack Resilient Reconfigurable Latent Obfuscation Technique for PUF based Lightweight Authentication
Physical unclonable functions (PUFs), as hardware security primitives, exploit manufacturing randomness to extract hardware instance-specific secrets. One of most popular structures is time-delay based Arbiter PUF attributing to large number of challenge response pairs (CRPs) yielded and its compact realization. However, modeling building attacks threaten most variants of APUFs that are usually...

i ABSTRACT The recent flurry of security breaches have raised serious concerns about the security of data communication and storage. A promising way to enhance the security of the system is through physical root of trust, such as, through use of physical unclonable functions (PUF). PUF leverages the inherent randomness in physical systems to provide device specific authentication and encryption...
متن کاملA Framework for the Evaluation of Physical Unclonable Functions
A PUF is a chip-unique challenge-response mechanism exploiting manufacturing process variation inside integrated circuits (ICs). It has many useful applications such as device authentication and secure, memory-less key storage. A mobile device can be authenticated using a PUF challenge-response pair. Moreover, a cryptographic key can be securely embedded in a mobile device using a PUF without a...
متن کاملASIC implementation of a hardware-embedded physical unclonable function
Within-die variations in path delays are increasing with scaling. Although higher levels of within-die delay variations are undesirable from a design perspective, they represent a rich source of entropy for applications that make use of ‘secrets’, such as authentication, hardware metering and encryption. Physical unclonable functions or PUFs are a class of circuit primitives that leverage withi...
