Reconfigurable systems often require secret keys to encrypt and decrypt data. Applications requiring high security commonly generate keys based on physical unclonable functions (PUFs), circuits that use random manufacturing variations to produce secret keys that are unique to each device. Implementing PUFs on field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) is usually difficult, because the designer has limited control over layout, and each PUF system requires a large area overhead to correct errors in the PUF response bits. In this paper, we extend the state of the art for FPGA-based weak PUFs using a novel methodology of per-device configuration and a new PUF variant derived from the popular FPGA-specific Anderson PUF. The PUF is evaluated using Xilinx XC7Z020 programmable systemon-chips from the Virtex-7 family on Zynq ZedBoard platforms. The design we propose has several advantages over existing …
