Title :
Physical Unclonable Functions: A Primer
Author :
Bauer, Thomas ; Hamlet, Jason
Abstract :
Physical unclonable functions (PUFs) make use of the measurable intrinsic randomness of physical systems to establish signatures for those systems. PUFs provide a means to generate unique keys that don´t need to be stored in nonvolatile memory, and they offer exciting opportunities for new authentication and supply chain security technologies.
