Unpredictability of their output is essential for their security and, thus, it is important to evaluate this property, which is often done by assessing the PUF's entropy. However, existing entropy estimation methods do not consider spatial information and provide no corresponding information to the designer. Therefore, we study how spatial effects in PUF structures can be considered when estimating entropy by means of an improved Context Tree Weighting (CTW) algorithm. Our Spatial CTW is practically implemented and tested on various real-world data sets, including binary and higher order alphabet PUFs. The obtained experimental results clearly support the necessity of taking spatial effects into account to not overestimate a PUF’s entropy.","PeriodicalId":336302,"journal":{"name":"2020 European Conference on Circuit Theory and Design (ECCTD)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129514214","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}

This paper presents a Householder CORDIC based low complexity architecture design for SRUKF targeting the highly nonlinear SLAM application. A hardware-software co-design methodology is proposed and implemented on Zynq-7000 XC7Z020 FPGA.

This electroforming process can already lead to device-to-device variability in a memristive array. Here, we propose a physics-based compact model for the electroforming process of filamentary memristive switches based on the valence change mechanism. The model is verified by experimental data of ZrOx-based devices. Using this model, the forming process of a whole memory array is investigated. It is shown that the parasitic IR-drop of the word and bit lines can influence the final state of the device after the electroforming process. In addition, the simulation results reveal that the location of the cell in the array influences the final state.","PeriodicalId":336302,"journal":{"name":"2020 European Conference on Circuit Theory and Design (ECCTD)","volume":"89 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114701900","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}
