Attack resistance is enhanced not only by improving the substitution-permutation network (SPN) using variable secret look-up tables (LUTs) and a complex permutation XOR box but also by mitigating LUT data collision and coupling Strong PUF functions between adjacent operation rounds to protect an individual round from attack. As a result, response bitstreams pass all NIST SP800-22 randomness tests even using highly correlated challenge inputs, and mainstream modeling attacks with up to 200-Mb training samples cannot achieve higher accuracy than random guess. An automatic data write-back circuit allows the PUF to be fully stabilized by hot carrier injection (HCI) burn-in without exposing sensitive LUT data. The architecture realizes a 1-cycle/round operation and results in 2.17 pJ/b energy and 0.625 bit/cycle throughput.","PeriodicalId":168466,"journal":{"name":"ESSCIRC 2022- IEEE 48th European Solid State Circuits Conference (ESSCIRC)","volume":"22 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-09-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123804428","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The former reduces DRAM bandwidth to 0.81-1.74 GB/s when supporting high-quality CNN inference with 16 to 29 layers at 4K UItra-UD 30fps. The latter reduces computing complexity by 40% without noticeable quality degradation, e.g. 0.02-0.03 dB of PSNR drop.
