Abstract

A method is provided for using obtaining a reproducible device identifier from a physically unclonable function. An authentication device may receive a first physically unclonable function (PUF) dataset from the electronic device, the first PUF dataset including characteristic information generated from a physically unclonable function in the electronic device. The authentication device may then identify a pre-stored PUF dataset corresponding to the electronic device. Authentication of the electronic device may be performed by correlating the pre-stored PUF dataset and the first PUF dataset for the electronic device, wherein such correlation is based on a pattern or distribution correlation the pre-stored PUF dataset and the first PUF dataset. Because such correlation is performed on datasets, and not individual points, systematic variations can be recognized by the correlation operation leading to higher correlation than point-by-point comparisons.

Description

[0001] Cross References to Related Applications [0002] This application claims priority to and the benefit of U.S. Nonprovisional Patent Application No. 14 / 045,740, filed October 3, 2013, in the United States Patent and Trademark Office, which is incorporated by reference in its entirety in its entirety. into this article. technical field [0003] The present invention relates to device identification of devices using characteristics from physically unclonable functions. Background technique [0004] A Physical Unclonable Function (PUF) provides a mechanism to uniquely identify a hardware device based on intrinsic changes in physical components. Complex semiconductor processes introduce slight variations beyond a designer's control when manufacturing multiple chips. For example, even if two chips are made from the same silicon wafer, lines designed to be identical will still likely differ in width by a few nanometers; microscopic differences in the silicon surface will ...
