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 …

Physical-layer device identification aims at identifying wireless devices during radio
communication by exploiting unique characteristics of their analog (radio) circuitry. This work …

Authentication is an essential cryptographic primitive that confirms the identity of parties
during communications. For security, it is important that these identities are complex, in order …

For modern security, devices, individuals, and communications require unprecedentedly
unique identifiers and cryptographic keys. One emerging method for guaranteeing digital …

Traditional authentication in radio-frequency (RF) systems enable secure data
communication within a network through techniques such as digital signatures and hash …

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 …

Intermittently powered applications create a need for low-cost security and privacy in
potentially hostile environments, supported by primitives including identification and random …

The proliferation of low-cost IEEE 802.15. 4 ZigBee wireless devices in critical infrastructure
applications presents security challenges. Network security commonly relies on bit-level …

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

Silicon physical unclonable function (PUF) is a popular hardware security primitive that
exploits the intrinsic variation of IC manufacturing process to generate chip-unique …
