A systematic method to evaluate and compare the performance of physical unclonable functions

A Maiti, V Gunreddy, P Schaumont - Embedded systems design with …, 2013‏ - Springer
We propose a systematic method to evaluate and compare the performance of physical
unclonable functions (PUFs). The need for such a method is justified by the fact that various …

The gap between promise and reality: On the insecurity of XOR arbiter PUFs

GT Becker - … Hardware and Embedded Systems--CHES 2015: 17th …, 2015‏ - Springer
In this paper we demonstrate the first real-world cloning attack on a commercial PUF-based
RFID tag. The examined commercial PUFs can be attacked by measuring only 4 protocol …
