Description
technical field
[0001] The invention relates to the field of physical unclonable functions, in particular to a configurable physical unclonable function circuit and its response generating mechanism. Background technique
[0002] Physically unclonable functions are a promising cryptographic technique. It can extract the random differences introduced by each chip due to the process deviation in the integrated circuit manufacturing process, and convert it into a corresponding bit sequence, which can be used as the "digital fingerprint" of the chip and uniquely identify the chip.
[0003] The physical unclonable function based on the ring oscillator is a new type of circuit structure proposed in recent years, which realizes the response output by comparing the difference in oscillation frequency between different ring oscillators. In order to increase the randomness of the response sequence, the structure of each ring oscillator must be identical in structure and highly symmet...
