On the Sustainability of Lightweight Cryptography Based on PUFs
Implemented on NAND Flash Memories Using Programming Disturbances
Abstract
In this work, we examine the potential of Physical Unclonable Functions
(PUFs) that have been implemented on NAND Flash memories using
programming disturbances to act as sustainable primitives for the
purposes of lightweight cryptography. In particular, we investigate the
ability of such PUFs to tolerate temperature and voltage variations, and
examine the current shortcomings of existing NAND-Flash-memory PUFs that
are based on programming disturbances as well as how these could
potentially be addressed in order to provide more robust and more
sustainable security solutions.
