    摘要: An electric physical unclonable function (PUF) (100) is provided comprising a semiconductor memory element (110) connectable to a PUF control means for reading content from the memory element and for deriving at least in part from said content a digital identifier, such as a secret key. Upon powering the memory element it settles into one of at least two different stable states. The particular stable state into which the memory element settles is dependent at least in part upon random physical characteristics of the memory element introduced during manufacture of the memory element. Settling of the memory element is further dependent upon a control input (112) of the memory element. The electric physical unclonable function comprises shielding means (142, 144) for shielding, during a time period including the power-up of the memory element and lasting at least until the settling of the memory element, the control input from receiving control signals upon which the particular stable state into which the memory element settles is dependent. In this way, the dependency of the memory element on its physical characteristics is improved, and dependency on possibly irreproducible control signals is reduced.

    摘要: Systems for generating an identifying response pattern comprising a memory (120) used as a physically unclonable function configured for generating a response pattern dependent on physical, at least partially random characteristics of said memory may be vulnerable to freezing attacks and to aging. A memory-overwriting device (110) configured for overwriting at least a first portion of the plurality of memory locations to obscure the response pattern in the memory avoids freezing attacks. An anti-degradation device (160) configured to write to each respective location of a second portion of the plurality of memory locations an inverse of a response previously read from the memory reduces the effects of aging.

    摘要: This invention relates to methods and devices for verifying the identity of a person based on a sequence of feature components extracted from a biometric sample. Thereafter, the feature components are quantized and assigned a data bit sequence in such a way that adjacent quantization intervals have a Hamming distance of 1. The data bit sequences are concatenated into a bit string, and said bit string is combined with a helper data set by using an exclusive disjunction (XOR) operation into a codeword. Finally, the codeword is decoded into a secret V and a secret S is matched with the secret V.

    摘要: The present invention relates to a method of authenticating, at a verifier (210), a device (101, 201) comprising a physical token (102), a system for performing authentication and a device comprising a physical token which provides measurable parameters. A basic idea of the present invention is to provide a secure authentication protocol in which a low-power device (101, 201), for example an RFID tag, comprising a physical token (102) in the form of a physical uncloneable function (PUF) is relieved from performing cryptographic operations or other demanding operations in terms of processing power. To this end, a PUF device (101, 201) to be authenticated verifies if it in fact is being queried by an authorized verifier. For instance, an RFID tag comprising a PUF (102) may be arranged in a banknote which a bank wishes to authenticate. This verification is based on the bank's unique ability to reveal concealed data, such as data having been created in an enrolment phase at which the RFID tag (or actually the PUF) was registered with the bank. Now, the RFID tag again challenges its PUF to create response data sent to the verifier. The verifier checks whether the response data is correct and, if so, authenticates the device comprising the physical token, since the device is able to produce response data that corresponds to response data concealed and stored in the enrolment phase.
