Physical unclonable functions ͑PUFs͒ can be used as a cost-effective means to store cryptographic key material in an unclonable way. In coating PUFs, keys are generated from capacitance measurements of a coating containing many randomly distributed particles with different dielectric constants. We introduce a physical model of coating PUFs by simplifying the capacitance sensors to a parallel plate geometry. We estimate the amount of information that can be extracted from the coating. We show that the inherent entropy is proportional to ͱ n͑log n͒ 3/2 , where n is the number of particles that fit between the capacitor plates in a straight line. However, measurement noise may severely reduce the amount of information that can actually be extracted in practice. In the noisy regime the number of extractable bits is, in fact, a decreasing function of n. We derive an optimal value for n as a function of the noise amplitude, the PUF geometry, and the dielectric constants.
This paper presents a method for functional testing of analog circuits, on the basis of circuit sensitivities. The approach selects the minimum number of measurements that allows a precise prediction of a circuit's functional behavior. A criterion is applied to this predicted behavior to determine if the circuit functions according to specifications. The presented method combines a matrix decomposition technique (the singular value decomposition) with an iterative algorithm to select measurements. The number of measurements is determined on the basis of the desired precision Of the response prediction and the influence of random measurement errors. Examples demonstrate that the resulting method tests the functional circuit behavior with a high precision, even in the presence of large measurement errors.
