Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the technical field of physically unclonable functions, and particularly to a PUF optimization method and device based on nanomaterials and fluid chaotic effects. Background Art

[0002] Physically unclonable function (PUF), as a key technology to ensure chip security, plays an important role in many fields. However, with the continuous expansion of application scenarios and the increasing improvement of security requirements, a series of problems have gradually emerged in existing PUF technologies, seriously restricting their further development and application. PUF is a technology that generates unique identifiers based on the physical differences of chips. With its unique advantages of utilizing the natural physical differences in chip manufacturing and avoiding the risks of key leakage and tampering, it has been widely used in high-security demand fields such as integrated circuits, information security, copyright protection, and Internet of Things device authentication. In the authentication of Internet of Things devices, PUF technology assigns a unique "fingerprint" to each device, ensuring the authenticity and security of the device identity, effectively preventing the device from being forged and illegally accessed, and guaranteeing the safe and stable operation of the entire Internet of Things system.

[0003] Existing PUF technologies perform poorly in terms of environmental adaptability. Taking delay line PUF and oscillator PUF based on physical differences in the chip manufacturing process as examples, when facing extreme environments such as high temperature, high humidity, and vibration, the physical properties of the materials in the chip will change due to environmental factors. For example, temperature changes will cause fluctuations in the conductivity and capacitance values of the materials, which will directly affect the delay time or oscillation frequency in the circuit, resulting in unstable "fingerprints" generated by PUF and unable to provide reliable security protection for the system. There are also deficiencies in its uniqueness and randomness. In the process of large-scale chip production, due to the similarity of manufacturing processes, the "fingerprints" generated based on physical differences between different chips are prone to similarity; moreover, under different time and environmental conditions, the "fingerprints" of the same chip may also show a high degree of similarity, which makes it easy for attackers to bypass the security mechanism by using the coincidence or similarity of "fingerprints" when the PUF system faces security attacks, greatly reducing the security of the system. The anti-interference ability of existing PUF technologies is weak. When facing external physical attacks such as side-channel attacks, thermal attacks, and electromagnetic attacks, the internal physical parameters of the system are extremely vulnerable to interference and change, thus destroying the normal generation process of "fingerprints", making it difficult for the PUF system to resist various complex attacks and unable to meet the strict security requirements of high-security demand scenarios. Summary of the Invention

[0004] Based on this, it is necessary to provide a PUF optimization method and device based on nanomaterials and fluid chaotic effects that can face complex and extreme environments for the above technical problems.

[0005] A PUF optimization method based on nanomaterials and fluid chaotic effect, the method comprising:

[0006] Synthesizing nanomaterials with regulated morphology, size and surface properties, and dispersing the nanomaterials into a solution;

[0014] In one embodiment, it further comprises: real-time monitoring of environmental temperature, humidity and vibration, and dynamically adjusting the fluid flow rate, viscosity and density of the microfluidic chip using a feedback mechanism to adjust the nanomaterial distribution and fluid chaotic effect of the PUF.

[0015] A PUF optimization device based on nanomaterials and fluid chaotic effect, the device comprising:

[0016] A nanomaterial synthesis module for synthesizing nanomaterials with regulated morphology, size and surface properties, and dispersing the nanomaterials into a solution;

[0017] A fluid chaotic effect introduction module is used to regulate the water / oil interface, temperature, and solution concentration, and control the anisotropic encapsulation process of the liquid-nano-liquid interface. Among them, nanoparticles are introduced on the interface to stimulate the non-linear dynamic behavior of the fluid chaotic effect;

[0018] An optimization module is used to generate the physical fingerprint of the PUF based on the synergistic effect of nanomaterials and the fluid chaotic effect, and optimize the randomness of the PUF by adjusting the distribution of the nanomaterials.

[0019] The above PUF optimization method and device based on nanomaterials and the fluid chaotic effect are different from the traditional technology of selecting a certain type of parameter as the PUF from the hardware system. In this application, the anisotropy of the non-linear dynamic behavior of the fluid chaotic effect excited by nanomaterials at the water / oil interface is used as the PUF, enabling the PUF to maintain stability in extreme environments such as high temperature, high humidity, and vibration. Secondly, due to the adjustable characteristics of nanomaterials, more randomness can be introduced during the generation of the PUF, thereby optimizing the performance of the PUF. Moreover, the synergistic effect of nanomaterials and the fluid chaotic effect helps to enhance the robustness of the PUF system against external physical attacks. Description of the Drawings

[0025] Step 102, synthesize nanomaterials with regulated morphology, size, and surface characteristics, and disperse the nanomaterials into a solution.

[0026] In this step, the morphology, size, and surface properties of the nanomaterials can be regulated through chemical synthesis methods. The functionality of the nanomaterials is further enhanced using surface modification techniques to improve their performance in the PUF system. The synthesized nanomaterials are dispersed in an appropriate solution to provide a basis for the introduction of the fluid chaotic effect.

[0027] Step 104: Adjust the water / oil interface, temperature, and solution concentration to control the anisotropic encapsulation process of the liquid-nano-liquid interface.

[0028] In this process, nanoparticles are introduced at the interface to stimulate the nonlinear dynamic behavior of the fluid chaotic effect, thereby increasing the complexity and anti-interference ability of the system. Through the nonlinear behavior in the fluid chaotic effect, the generation process of the PUF is further optimized, enabling the system to maintain high stability under extreme environments.

[0029] Step 106: Based on the synergistic effect of the nanomaterials and the fluid chaotic effect, generate the physical fingerprint of the PUF, and optimize the randomness of the PUF by adjusting the distribution of the nanomaterials.

[0030] In the above PUF optimization method based on the nanomaterials and the fluid chaotic effect, different from selecting a certain type of parameter from the hardware system as the PUF in traditional technologies, this application uses the anisotropy of the nanomaterials at the water / oil interface by stimulating the nonlinear dynamic behavior of the fluid chaotic effect as the PUF, enabling the PUF to maintain stability under extreme environments such as high temperature, high humidity, and vibration. Secondly, due to the adjustable properties of the nanomaterials, the PUF can introduce more randomness during the generation process, thereby optimizing the performance of the PUF.

[0035] In one embodiment, through surfactant and functional group modification techniques, nanomaterials with regulated morphology, size, and surface properties are synthesized. Thus, highly uniform nanomaterials are synthesized to solve the problem of interfacial non-uniformity.

[0036] In one embodiment, by adjusting the water / oil interface, temperature, and solution concentration, the interfacial properties of the liquid and nanoparticles are changed to control the anisotropic encapsulation process of the liquid-nanoparticle-liquid interface.

[0037] In addition, by adjusting the water / oil interface, temperature, and solution concentration, and using a microfluidic chip to precisely control the fluid flow rate, viscosity, and density, the interfacial properties of the liquid and nanoparticles are changed.

[0038] In this embodiment, a microfluidic chip is introduced to study the influence of fluid chaotic effects on the self-assembly behavior of nanoparticles and to reveal how it increases the unpredictability and robustness of the PUF system.

[0039] In summary, the working principle of the synergistic effect of the nanomaterials and fluid chaotic effects in this application is as follows:

[0040] 1. Nanoparticle synthesis module: Different types of nanoparticles (such as gold nanoparticles, magnetic nanoparticles, etc.) are generated through chemical synthesis methods.

[0041] 2. Liquid-nanoparticle-liquid interface regulation module: By changing the interfacial properties of the liquid and nanoparticles, the anisotropic encapsulation of the interface is controlled, thereby enhancing the uniqueness and randomness of PUF generation.

[0042] 3. Fluid chaotic effect module: Through the non-linear characteristics of fluid chaotic behavior, the anti-interference ability of the PUF is enhanced, and its stability in extreme environments is improved.
