Title:
PUF-COTE: A PUF Construction with Challenge Obfuscation and Throughput Enhancement

Authors: Boyapally Harishma, Durba Chatterjee, Kuheli Pratihar, Sayandeep Saha, Debdeep Mukhopadhyay

Abstract:

Physically Unclonable Functions~(PUFs) have been a potent choice for enabling low-cost, secure communication. However, the state-of-the-art strong PUFs generate single-bit response. So, we propose PUF-COTE: a high throughput architecture based on linear feedback shift register and a strong PUF as the base''-PUF. At the same time, we obfuscate the challenges to the base’'-PUF of the final construction.
We experimentally evaluate the quality of the construction by implementing it on Artix 7 FPGAs. We evaluate the statistical quality of the responses~(using NIST SP800-92 test suit and standard PUF metrics: uniformity, uniqueness, reliability, strict avalanche criterion, ML-based modelling), which is a crucial factor for cryptographic applications.
