Abstract
This paper presents a Strong PUF based on a complex network with embedded entropy sources (ES). ES are stabilized by Automated Entropy Source Stabilization using in-situ healing or fixing, without losing any challenge-response pairs (CRPs) or exposing raw ES values to off-chip. Our 65-nm prototype achieves <4E-8 BER, consumes 4.28pJ/bit, and operates at 150/540 Mb/s in normal/frequency boost modes. The generated CRPs pass randomness tests and is resistant against prevalent black-box and custom white-box attacks.
