Abstract
The present disclosure relates to implementations of physically unclonable functions (PUFs) for cryptographic and authentication purposes. Specifically, the disclosure describes implementations of systems using PUFs that may replace existing public key infrastructures (PKIs).
Claims5
A method, comprising:
- generating a plurality of physically unclonable function challenge values by accessing a plurality of physically unclonable functions in an array of physically unclonable functions;
- generating a first binary data stream using the plurality of physically unclonable function challenge values;
- encrypting a message using the first binary data stream to generate an encrypted binary data stream;
- generating a second binary data stream, the second binary data stream identifying an address within an array of physically unclonable functions from which the first binary stream was generated;
- and
- transmitting the encrypted binary data stream and the second binary data stream to a remote computing device.
