Physically Unclonable Functions Constructions Properties And Applications

Physically Unclonable Functions (pufs) Are Innovative Physical Security Primitives That Produce Unclonable And Inherent Instance-specific Measurements Of Physical Objects; In Many Ways They Are The Inanimate Equivalent Of Biometrics For Human Beings. Since They Are Able To Securely Generate And Store Secrets, They Allow Us To Bootstrap The Physical Implementation Of An Information Security System. In This Book The Author Discusses Pufs In All Their Facets: The Multitude Of Their Physical Constructions, The Algorithmic And Physical Properties Which Describe Them, And The Techniques Required To Deploy Them In Security Applications.the Author First Presents An Extensive Overview And Classification Of Puf Constructions, With A Focus On So-called Intrinsic Pufs.
