The present invention leverages randomly generated areas with random attributes from two-dimensional media forms to embed information relating to a media's ownership and / or distribution source. This provides a means to establish a media's source despite attacks. By providing embedded user-unique identification, media can enable detection for identifying the source of copied media without the embedded information substantially interfering with the intended purpose of the media itself.

User-unique keys are then utilized to determine attributes for each of the areas. This permits creation of statistically unique locations for each user key. The statistical qualities are biased and utilized to determine a logarithmic magnitude watermark value to embed in the media at that location. Detection is performed by utilizing a statistical correlation method to determine a user.

The Distribution Effect is proposed for the HELP PUF that is based on purposely introducing biases in the mean and range parameters of path delay distributions to enhance entropy. The biased distributions are then used in the bitstring construction process to introduce differences in the bit values associated with path delays that would normally remain fixed. Offsets are computed to fine tune a token's digitized path delays as a means of maximizing entropy and reproducibility in the generated bitstrings: a first population-based offset method computes median values using data from multiple tokens (i.e., the population) and a second chip-specific technique is proposed which fine tunes path delays using enrollment data from the authenticating token.
