In this paper, a physical unclonable function (PUF), a type of hardware security device, is proposed to overcome the limitations of existing security schemes. A <inline-formula> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">$32\times 32$ </tex-math></inline-formula> crossbar array using TiO<sub>x</sub>/Al<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3-</sub> based memristors was fabricated, and electrical characteristics including its set voltage distribution were analyzed. The memristor switching characteristics model is described in a simplified space-charge-limited current (SCLC) regime. Based on this I-V model, selected bit-line current PUFs (SBC-PUFs) were designed with <inline-formula> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">$32\times 32$ </tex-math></inline-formula>, <inline-formula> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">$64\times 64$ </tex-math></inline-formula>, and <inline-formula> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">$128\times 128$ </tex-math></inline-formula> crossbar arrays. The entropy source of these PUFs is the set voltage deviation in the fabricated memristors. Due to these characteristics, the SBC-PUF can exploit the broad resistance distribution near the switching region, including the internal resistance distributions of the high resistance state (HRS) and low resistance state (LRS). The SBC-PUF performance was evaluated for randomness/uniformity, correctness/reliability, and uniqueness by calculating the Hamming weight and intra/inter Hamming distance of challenge-response pairs (CRPs). The designed structure demonstrates high-security performance due to the high value of these indicators and the large number of CRPs. Furthermore, the devised PUF has a higher prediction error rate than arbiter PUF in machine learning attacks. This study verified that the SBC-PUF using the memristor of the crossbar array structure is safe enough to be used for hardware security. |
