چکیده

A novel approach for RF fingerprinting using a simple microwave passive device is proposed. This device is a multi-port cavity resonator filled with a dielectric material mixed with randomly-distributed microor nano-particles. Such structure generates a typical Physical Unclonable Function (PUF) that can be perfectly used for storing and protecting secure information. This mixture guarantees a spatial random distortion on the electromagnetic fields and consequently a unique fingerprint. The extraction of these fingerprints is based on the scattered near-fields which are represented by the S-parameters. Preliminary measurement results show a high degree of reliability and reproducibility of the fingerprints over the UWB frequency range. a 2014 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

Security of Wireless Devices using Biological-Inspired RF Fingerprinting Technique

Radio Frequency (RF) fingerprinting is a security mechanism inspired by biological fingerprint identification systems. RF fingerprinting is proposed as a means of providing an additional layer of security for wireless devices. RF fingerprinting classification is performed by selecting an “unknown” signal from the pool, generating its RF fingerprint, and using a classifier to correlate the recei...
