eNVM Based Physical Unclonable Function for Enhanced RFID
Alberto Arciello, Massimo Merenda · 2024
The widespread adoption of RFID technologies has highlighted the urgency of adopting more secure solutions to counter the growing risks of cloning and attacks. Traditional unique identification systems have significant limitations in terms of resistance to attacks, necessitating the adoption of emerging technologies. In this context, non-volatile memories (NVM) technology offers a promising alternative due to their ability to create unique identifiers and secure key based on non-replicable physical imperfections, providing inherent security. This contribution aims to propose a novel control logic that exploits the variability of the resistances of Resistive Random Access Memory (ReRAM) to implement a secure and efficient Physical Unclonable Function (PUF), thereby optimizing the performance of an RFID system.
