Implementing physical unclonable functions using PCM arrays
Enrico Piccinini, MASSIMO RUDAN, ROSSELLA BRUNETTI · 2017
The stochastic nature of the switching mechanism of amorphous phase-change memory (PCM) arrays can fruitfully be exploited to implement primitives for hardware security. This paper tackles, by means of PCM, the feasibility of Reconfigurable Physical Unclonable Functions, that constitute one of the two building blocks of cryptographic applications.
