Physically unclonable functions (PUFs) are used as low-cost cryptographic primitives in device authentication and secret key creation. SRAM-PUFs are well-known as entropy sources; nevertheless, due of non-deterministic noise environment during the power-up process, they are subject to low challenge-...
