Physically Uncloneable Function Sample Clauses

Physically Uncloneable Function. In this subsection, we provide a brief description of PUFs. A PUF is characterized by a challenge-response pair (CRP). It is an integrated circuit (IC) which takes a string of bits as an input challenge and produces a string of bits called the response. The response R of a PUF PUF to a challenge C can be represented as follows: R = PUF (C). A PUF exploits the uniqueness of the physical micro-structure of the IC that is created during the manufacturing process to ensure that no two PUFs are the same. As the PUF output depends on the physical characteristics of the IC, any attempt to tamper with the PUF changes its behavior and renders the PUF useless. Due to this unique property, PUFs have gained popularity as an important paradigm for physical security of resource constrained devices. However, the noise in a PUF’s output that results from environmental conditions (e.g. temperature) is still a limiting factor in PUF design, and may result in one or more of the output bits of the PUF being incorrect for any challenge. To address this issue, the concept of fuzzy extractor has been introduced. A (d, n, l, λ, s)-secure PUF needs to hold the following requirements:
