The articles in this special issue focus on physical unclonable funtion (PUF)-based systainable cybersecurity. The articles investigate the potential use of physically unclonable functions (PUFs) as a hardware security approach for sustainable cybersecurity. PUFs are a class of circuits that use the inherent variations in the integrated circuit manufacturing process to create unique and unclonable IDs.1 PUF has the potential to seal multiple types of vulnerabilities for sustainable cybersecurity specifically in the security classes of authentication, nonrepudiation, and privacy.

基于物理不可克隆功能 (PUF) 的可持续网络安全


本期特刊中的文章重点关注基于物理不可克隆功能 (PUF) 的可维护网络安全。这些文章研究了物理不可克隆功能 (PUF) 作为可持续网络安全的硬件安全方法的潜在用途。 PUF 是一类电路，它利用集成电路制造过程中的固有变化来创建唯一且不可克隆的 ID。1 PUF 有潜力密封多种类型的漏洞，以实现可持续的网络安全，特别是在身份验证、不可否认性和隐私等安全类别中。
