As the Internet of Things promises a proliferation in the number of distributed and unsupervised mobile computing devices, lightweight device authentication protocols for counterfeit prevention and secure communication becomes paramount. Physically unclonable function (PUF) primitives have recently been proposed as a means for replacing non-volatile memories (which are prone to physical attacks) for generating and storing cryptographic keys for security-based functions. This research proposal addresses the reliability issues involved in designing a static random access memory (SRAM)-based PUF circuit block, and then integrates it into an authentication circuit for use in a hardware-based security subsystems. The key research objectives of this proposal are: (i) the design of an SRAM-based PUF primitive, (ii) the development of design methodologies to mitigate the impact of process, voltage, and temperature induced variability - issues more prevalent in nanoscale CMOS technologies, and (iii) the realization of the SRAM PUF primitive in a low-overhead device authentication system.

随着物联网承诺分布式和无监督的移动的计算设备的数量激增，用于防伪和安全通信的轻量级设备认证协议变得至关重要。物理不可克隆功能（PUF）原语最近已经被提出作为用于替换非易失性存储器（其易于受到物理攻击）的手段，以用于生成和存储用于基于安全的功能的密码密钥。本研究建议解决设计一个静态随机存取存储器（SRAM）为基础的PUF电路块的可靠性问题，然后将其集成到一个认证电路中使用的基于硬件的安全子系统。该提案的主要研究目标是：（i）基于SRAM的PUF基元的设计，（ii）设计方法的开发，以减轻工艺，电压和温度引起的可变性的影响-问题更多 流行的纳米级CMOS技术，和（iii）实现的SRAM PUF原语在低开销的设备认证系统。
