Abstract
Physical Unclonable Functions (PUFs) is an emerging area, in the hardware security field. As a relatively new concept for computers and networks security, there is an ongoing research in various technologies. There are alternative proposed designs, so far, regarding different targets each time. This chapter is a state of the art, regarding the most important technologies, of PUFs designs. The alternative PUFs technologies are studied and analyzed, while the advantages of each one are highlighted. Furthermore, the silicon subclass of PUFs is detailed focused, since it is among the most important and widely applied. This is due to the fact that they can be easily implemented in a modern security system, with sufficient and flexible designs. Comparisons regarding implementation issues such as performance, area resources, and achieved security level are discussed in detail.
