Ripon Patgiri, Laiphrakpam Dolendro Singh

Password-based authentication is an extensively used method to authenticate users. It uses cryptography to communicate the authentication process. On the contrary, the physically unclonable function (PUF)-based authentication mechanism is also gaining popularity rapidly due to its usability in IoT devices. It is a lightweight authentication mechanism that does not use cryptography protocol. PUF-based authentication mechanisms cannot authenticate users. To overcome the drawback of …
