Physically Unclonable Functions (PUFs) are being proposed as a low cost alternative to permanently store secret keys or provide device authentication without requiring non-volatile memory, large e-fuses or other dedicated processing steps. In the literature, PUFs are split into two main categories. The so-called strong PUFs are mainly used for authentication purposes, hence also called authentication PUFs. They promise to …
