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 …

We propose a systematic method to evaluate and compare the performance of physical
unclonable functions (PUFs). The need for such a method is justified by the fact that various …

In this paper we demonstrate the first real-world cloning attack on a commercial PUF-based
RFID tag. The examined commercial PUFs can be attacked by measuring only 4 protocol …

Abstract “Classical keys,” ie, secret keys stored permanently in digital form in nonvolatile
memory, appear indispensable in modern computer security—but also constitute an obvious …

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 …

The stochastic switching mechanism and intrinsic variability of resistive random access
memory (RRAM) present severe challenges for memory applications, which, however, may …

We introduce Slender PUF protocol, an efficient and secure method to authenticate the
responses generated from a Strong Physical Unclonable Function (PUF). The new method …

The widespread use of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) has made the security and
computing resource application efficiency of UAV a hot topic in the security field of the …

Physical Unclonable Functions (PUFs) are a new, hardware-based security primitive, which
has been introduced just about a decade ago. In this paper, we provide a brief and easily …

Monodisperse cholesteric liquid crystal microspheres exhibit spherically symmetric Bragg
reflection, generating, via photonic cross communication, dynamically tuneable multi …
