Physically Unclonable Functions: A Window into CMOS Process Variations
2016
Most of the embedded systems pose tight constraints on area and energy
because of their low cost. So, the trend towards lightweight cryptographic
primitives is becoming extremely popular in the design market. Most of the
primitives based on classical cryptography are based on the concept of a
secret binary key embedded on the device. However, they pose some serious security vulnerabilities especially against physical attacks (invasive, noninvasive, and side-channels) and software attacks. The fact that the key has to
be stored in a non-volatile memory further aggravates the problem. All these
issues have served as one of the major motivations towards the development
of Physically Unclonable Functions (PUFs) in the literature.
