This article presents the first-ever blockchain which can simultaneously handle device and data security, which is important for the emerging Internet-of-Everything (IoE). This article presents a unique concept of blockchain that integrates hardware security primitives called Physical Unclonable Functions (PUFs) to solve scalability, latency, and energy requirement challenges and is called PUFchain. Data management and security (and privacy) of data, devices, and individuals, are some of the issues in the IoE architectures that need to be resolved. Integrating the blockchain into the IoE environment can help solve these issues and helps in the aspects of data storage and security. This article introduces a new blockchain architecture called PUFchain and introduces a new consensus algorithm called "Proof of PUF-Enabled Authentication" (PoP) for deployment in PUFchain. The proposed PoP is the PUF integration into our previously proposed Proof-of-Authentication (PoAh) consensus algorithm and can be called "Hardware-Assisted Proof-of-Authentication (HA-PoAh)". However, PUF integration is possible in the existing and new consensus algorithms. PoP utilizes PUFs which are responsible for generating a unique key that cannot be cloned and hence provide the highest level of security. A PUF uses the nanoelectronic manufacturing variations that are introduced during the fabrication of an integrated circuit to generate the keys. Hence, once generated from a PUF module, the keys cannot be cloned or generated from any other module. PUFchain uses a PUF and Hashing module which performs the necessary cryptographic functions. Hence the mining process is offloaded to the hardware module which reduces the processing times. PoP is approximately 1,000× faster than the well-established Proof-of-Work (PoW) and 5× faster than Proof-of-Authentication (PoAh). The transaction time reduction compared to PoAh is 79.15%. An optimized ultra low power design of the PUF and hashing module also provides a significant decrease of power consumption.

“…One of the most representative hardware solutions to reliably manage privacy information is using the physical characteristics of hardware to generate secret keys [9]. This solution is proposed by Bauder and Simmons in 1980s and is broadly accepted as a primitive trial to exploit physical properties of hardware for security purpose.…”

“…Because such manufacturing process variations are unavoidable and unpredictable, the random binary string produced by applying the same challenge is unique to each PUF circuit instance and cannot be reproduced even with the full knowledge of its circuit design. Moreover, it is relatively easy to evaluate the CRPs to authenticate a hardware with an embedded PUF but significantly harder, if not impossible, to reverse engineer the circuit to uncover the exact device parameters for reproducing the same challenge-response behavior [9]. As depicted in Figure 2.2, a PUF can be formally modeled as a physical system that probabilistically maps a stimulating challenge c selected from a finite discrete space C = {0,1} k to the output response r from the binary space R = {0,1} l according to its intrinsic stochastic properties  arising from the manufacturing process variations of its components.…”
