Abstract

Applications on physically unclonable circuits (PUFs) for implementing and utilizing security protocols with hardware is on the rise. PUFs have the capability to perform functions such as authentication, prevention of replication, and secure storage of critical information in integrated circuits and security systems. Through the implementation of physically unclonable circuits, a wide range of security features, including confidentiality, integrity, and availability, can be applied. Therefore, PUFs are promising candidate to build secure integrated circuits and hardware systems. However, in order that PUFs possess security features, PUFs should possess characteristics such as unpredictability, uniqueness, and robustness characteristics. This study provides a detailed explanation and introduction of the methods to characterize the PUF properties. By applying the results, it becomes possible to quantitatively evaluate the characteristics of implemented PUFs and assess their availabilities for security system applications.

하드웨어를 이용한 보안 프로토콜 구현 및 사용에 있어 물리적 복제 불가능 회로 연구가 증가하고 있다. 물리적 복제 불가능 회로는 집적 회로 및 보안 시스템의 인증, 복제 방지. 중요 정보 저장 등의 기능 수행이 가능하다. 물리적 복제 불가능 회로의 구현을 통해 기밀성, 무결성, 가용성 보안 기능 중 많은 보안 기능의 적용이 가능한 솔루션이다. 따라서, 물리적 복제 불가능 회로는 안전한 반도체 집적 회로 및 보안 시스템 구현에 중요한 기반 기술로 주목받고 있다. 하지만, 물리적 복제 불가능회로가 보안 기능을 갖기 위해서는 예측 불가능성, 특이성, 견고성 특성을 가져야 한다, 이 연구에서는 물리적 복제 불가능 회로의 특성 방법에 관하여 자세히 설명하고 소개한다. 이 연구 결과를 적용하여 구현한 물리적 복제 불가능 회로의 정량적 특성 평가가 가능하고 보안 시스템의 적용 가능성을 평가할 수 있다.
