The idea of using intrinsic random physical features to identify objects, systems, and people
is not new. Fingerprint identification of humans dates at least back to the nineteenth century …

As the electronic component supply chain grows more complex due to globalization, with
parts coming from a diverse set of suppliers, counterfeit electronics have become a major …

This chapter introduces the reader to the basic concept of a physically unclonable function
or PUF. Many research results on this topic were published over recent years in a variety of …

Abstract Physically Unclonable Functions (PUFs) are an emerging technology and have
been proposed as central building blocks in a variety of cryptographic protocols and security …

In cryptography it is assumed that adversaries only have black box access to the secret keys
of honest parties. In real life, however, the black box approach is not sufficient because …

Counterfeit integrated circuits (ICs) pose a major concern to the industry and government as
they potentially impact the security and reliability of a wide variety of electronic systems. A …

The quantitative performance indicators of Physical Unclonable Functions (PUFs)-
Randomness, Steadiness, Correctness, Diffuseness and Uniqueness-are strictly defined …

The goal of physical layer security (PLS) is to make use of the properties of the physical
layer—including the wireless communication medium and/or the transceiver hardware—to …

Identification, authentication, and integrity checking are important tasks for ensuring the
security and protection of valuable objects, devices, programs, and data. The utilization of …
