Secure verification of physical unclonable function

The present disclosure describes apparatuses and methods for implementing secure verification of a physical unclonable function (PUF). In various aspects, a PUF verifier generates a PUF reagent value by obtaining a key from a PUF and a message value useful for PUF verification. The PUF verifier computes a digest value of the PUF key and the message value and selects a portion of the hash digest as a PUF reagent value. The PUF verifier writes the PUF reagent value to a non-volatile memory to enable subsequent verification of the PUF. The PUF verifier may also generate error-correction code information for the PUF reagent value and write this information to the non-volatile memory to enable error correction. Upon device hardware reset, the PUF verifier can securely verify PUF operation by generating a PUF key hash digest and comparing the hash digest with the PUF reagent value without exposing the PUF key.
