Abstract

Physical unclonable functions (PUFs) have been investigated as hardware security primitives for various applications such as anticounterfeiting, authentication, and secret key generation, owing to their high unpredictability. Compared with silicon PUFs, spin-orbit torque PUFs (SOT-PUFs) have drawn more attention, attributed to the advantages including low power consumption and non-volatility. However, SOT-PUFs suffer from the limited challenge-response pairs space, the external magnetic field and high setting current. In this paper, we propose a reconfigurable PUF (rPUF) based on the Type-Y SOT-array, which features high speed, pure-electrical control and reconfigurability. The proposed rPUF presents great randomness as the mean-value of the 0/1 distribution and entropy are calculated to be 0.4953 and 0.96095, respectively. Meanwhile, the normalized hamming distance in the case of 100 refreshes achieves 49.66%, which demonstrates great reconfigurability. Our work verifies the feasibility and randomness of rPUF based on the Type-Y SOT-array by the simulation and experiment, which provides robustness against the manufacturing variation and broadens the reliability of SOT-PUF applications.
