| 14:15 - 15:15 | Invited talk 1: Entropy from Silicon: A Constructive Approach to PUF-based Roots of Trust Roel Maes Session chair: Fatemeh Ganji Physically unclonable functions (PUFs) have been studied for nearly 25 years, during which a significant and still growing body of literature has explored their constructions, properties, and applications from many perspectives. One of the most promising and practical uses of PUFs is as the physical foundation of an embedded root of trust. To transform a silicon PUF into a secure and reliable component within a security architecture, it is essential to thoroughly understand its properties and to apply appropriate processing techniques. This talk will examine the key components of a PUF-based root of trust, including a PUF construction and its properties, algorithms for response processing, and best practices for integration into security systems.Slides |
