- Demonstrates for the first time a relationship between security characteristics (uniqueness and min-entropy) of a physical unclonable function PUF design, a hardware-based solution that can be used to generate a cypto-key online or uniquely identify an integrated circuit (IC). The result means that PUF designers will only need to measure one of these characteristics and from the equations proposed in this paper, obtain the other. This will significantly simplify the process of evaluating the security of PUF designs, for e.g., in accordance with the PUF Security Requirements Standard, ISO/IEC 20897-2.
