Hardware security modules play a crucial role in protecting and preserving technologically
integrated systems that are used in daily life. They employ cryptographic protocols to secure …

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 …

Throughput, flexibility, and security form the design trilogy of reconfigurable crypto engines;
they must be carefully considered without reducing the major role of classical design …

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 …

RFID-based tokens are increasingly used in electronic payment and ticketing systems for
mutual authentication of tickets and terminals. These systems typically use cost-effective …

Physical attacks against cryptographic devices typically take advantage of information
leakage (eg, side-channels attacks) or erroneous computations (eg, fault injection attacks) …

Physically Unclonable Functions (PUFs) are lightweight hardware security primitives for
generating unique signatures from the unpredictable nature of silicon. However, most of the …

As security has always been an afterthought of innovation, the security of IoT (Internet of
Things), in general, and authentication, in particular, has become a serious research …

A cyber-physical system (CPS) is a composition of independently interacting components,
including computational elements, communications and control systems. Applications of …
