Abstract

Physical unclonable functions (PUFs) have gained widespread adoption for secure authentication, yet existing systems often face challenges related to cost, complexity, and scalability. This study introduces a novel holographic physical unclonable function (HPUF) based on electrospun nanofiber membranes (ESNFs), which integrates plasmonic gratings with the inherent randomness and robustness of ESNFs. Efficient conformal printing of gratings onto ESNF membranes was achieved by combining the rapid self-assembly of silver nanocubes with microstructured transfer printing. The HPUF system demonstrated high diffraction efficiency (up to 37 %) and exceptional key space security, with a key size of approximately 2³⁸⁴. The generated HPUF patterns passed 13 NIST randomness tests without post-processing, confirming their suitability for cryptographic applications. Furthermore, the HPUF exhibited excellent stability, with high reproducibility across 40 challenge-response cycles. This work presents a high-efficiency, scalable, and visually distinctive solution for secure anti-counterfeiting and cryptographic applications, with potential for integration into various materials.

物理不可克隆函数（PUF）已被广泛用于安全认证，但现有系统往往面临成本、复杂性和可扩展性方面的挑战。本研究介绍了一种基于电纺纳米纤维膜（ESNFs）的新型全息物理不可克隆功能（HPUF），它将等离子光栅与ESNFs固有的随机性和鲁棒性融为一体。通过将银纳米立方体的快速自组装与微结构转移印刷相结合，在 ESNF 膜上实现了光栅的高效保形印刷。HPUF系统具有很高的衍射效率（高达37%）和卓越的密钥空间安全性，密钥大小约为2384。生成的 HPUF 图案无需后处理就通过了 13 项 NIST 随机性测试，证明其适用于密码应用。此外，HPUF 还表现出卓越的稳定性，在 40 次挑战-响应循环中具有很高的可重复性。这项研究为安全防伪和加密应用提供了一种高效、可扩展、视觉独特的解决方案，并有望集成到各种材料中。
