Key-recovery Attacks on Various RO PUF Constructions via Helper Data Manipulation
Jeroen Delvaux, Ingrid M.R. Verbauwhede · 2014
Abstract. Physically Unclonable Functions (PUFs) are emerging as hardware security primitives. They are mainly used to generate secret keys which are inherently unique for every manufactured sample of a chip. Ring Oscillator (RO) PUFs are among the most widely researched PUFs. In this work, we claim various RO PUF constructions to be vulnerable against manipulation of their public helper data. Partial/full key-recovery is a threat for the following constructions, in chronological order. (1) Temperature-aware cooperative RO PUFs, proposed
