Physical Unclonable Functions
Einzigartige Identitäten und kryptographische Schlüssel aus Hardwareeigenschaften
Kontakt: Michael Pehl (Gruppenleitung), Christoph Frisch, Jonas Ruchti, Tim Music
Eine Physical Unlonable Function (PUF) wertet Fertigungsschwankungen in einem Chip aus und erzeugt daraus ein individuelles Signal, das ähnlich wie ein eingescannter Fingerabdruck von Chip zu Chip stark und von Messung zu Messung leicht variiert.
Eine PUF erzeugt also ein verrauschtes Geheimnis reproduzierbar zur Laufzeit. Dieses Geheimnis kann entweder dazu genutzt werden, den Chip zu authentifizieren, oder es steht nach Entfernen des Rauschens als kryptografischer Schlüssel zur Verfügung.
Durch PUFs erhalten auch Systeme ohne sichere Schlüsselspeicher Zugang zu sicheren kryptografischen Schlüsseln.
