BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

Field of the Invention

[0002] The invention relates to a PUF circuit, in particular to a current-mode PUF circuit based on a reference current source.

Description of Related Art

[0003] With the rapid development of the internet technology, information security has drawn increasing attention. Physical Unclonable Function (PUF) circuits provide an approach for improving information security on the aspect of hardware texture characteristic. Silicon-based PUF circuits are based on the characteristic recognition technique in the integrated circuit field. By capturing manufacturing process variations through corresponding comparing mechanism, PUF can produce a large number of identifications (IDs), which have the characteristics of uniqueness and unclonability. The uniqueness refers to that a given PUF circuit has unique function performance, namely the given PUF circuit can generate unique corresponding Challenge Response Pairs (CRPs). The unclonablility refers to that it is extremely difficult to clone a PUF with the same CRPs. With uniqueness and unclonablility, the PUF circuits have broad application prospects in the information security fields such as device identification, key generation and IP protection.

[0004] Random process deviations in the integrated circuit manufacturing process are embodied as differences in current, voltage and delay on the aspect of the electrical property. According to different types of deviation signals, silicon-based PUF circuits can be divided into three classes, namely current-mode PUF circuits, voltage-mode PUF circuits and delay-mode PUF circuits. As key modules of PUF circuits, the robustness of deviation signals generated by deviation signal generation circuit has a direct influence on the reliability of the current-mode PUF circuits. At present, the deviation signal generation circuits of the PUF circuits are designed based on geometric dimension deviations and process parameter deviations (such as the doping concentration, the oxide layer thickness and the diffusion depth) of MOS transistors in the integrated circuit manufacturing process. However, existing PUF circuits have defects in design of deviation signal generation circuits, and consequentially, the robustness of deviation signals is low. For example, the deviation signal generation circuits, for generating delay deviation signals, of Arbiter-PUF circuits are constructed based on switching delay cell, but the switching delay cells are likely to be affected by PVT, resulting in poor robustness of generated delay deviation signals. The deviation signal generation circuits, for generating frequency deviation signals, of RO-PUF circuits are constructed based on ring oscillators, but the ring oscillators are temperature sensitive, resulting in poor robustness of generated frequency deviation signals. The deviation signal generation circuits, used for generating current deviation signals, of SRAM-PUF circuits are constructed based on cross-coupling inverters, but the structure can generate positive feedback effect and is extremely sensitive to environment changes in the evaluation stage, thereby being poor in robustness. Due to the poor robustness of the deviation signal generation circuits, the reliability of the existing PUF circuits should be improved urgently.

[0018] Compared with the prior art, the invention has the following advantages: The PUF circuit is composed of the input register, the reference current source, the deviation current source array, the deviation current comparator and the timing controller, wherein the input register is used for ensuring the synchronization of input challenges so as to avoid the influence of asynchronous challenges on the output response, the reference current source generates a reference current for temperature and voltage compensation, the deviation current source array generates two paths of deviation currents controlled by the challenges, the deviation current comparator generates and outputs a judgment according to the magnitude of the deviation current provided by the deviation current source array, and the timing controller is used for generating timing information for operation of the PUF circuit; the reference current source comprises the 1.sup.st PMOS transistor, the 2.sup.nd PMOS transistor, the 3.sup.rd PMOS transistor, the 4.sup.th PMOS transistor, the 5.sup.th PMOS transistor, the 6.sup.th PMOS transistor, the 7.sup.th PMOS transistor, the 1.sup.st NMOS transistor, the 2.sup.nd NMOS transistor, the 3.sup.rd NMOS transistor, the 4.sup.th NMOS transistor, the 5.sup.th NMOS transistor, the 6.sup.th NMOS transistor, the 7.sup.th NMOS transistor, the 8.sup.th NMOS transistor, the 9.sup.th NMOS transistor and the resistor; the deviation current source array comprises the m deviation current source cells of the same circuit structure; each deviation current source cell comprises the 10.sup.th NMOS transistor, the 11.sup.th NMOS transistor, the 12.sup.th NMOS transistor, the 13.sup.th NMOS transistor, the 14.sup.th NMOS transistor and the 15.sup.th NMOS transistor; the reference current source generates the reference current I.sub.1 which will not be affected by temperature or voltage fluctuation and adopts MOS transistors with different threshold voltages to achieve temperature compensation; the resistor serves as a voltage division resistor, the 2.sup.nd PMOS transistor is a high-threshold PMOS transistor, the 3.sup.rd PMOS transistor is a normal-threshold PMOS transistor, and the threshold voltages of the 2.sup.nd PMOS transistor and the 3.sup.rd PMOS transistor have the same temperature coefficient; as the ratio of the width-to-length ratio of the 3.sup.rd PMOS transistor to the width-to-length ratio of the 4.sup.th PMOS transistor is 1:1 and the ratio of the width-to-length ratio of the 7.sup.th NMOS transistor to the width-to-length ratio of the 8.sup.th NMOS transistor is 2:1, the current across the 7.sup.th NMOS transistor and the current across the 8.sup.th NMOS transistor are 2I.sub.1 and I.sub.1 respectively, the current across the 3.sup.rd PMOS transistor and the current across the 4.sup.th PMOS transistor are both I.sub.1, in this way, the current I.sub.1 across the 2.sup.nd PMOS transistor is only related to the temperature coefficient of the resistor R1, and when resistors with different temperature coefficients are connected in series to form the resistor R1 with a first-order zero-temperature coefficient, the current I.sub.1 will not be affected by the first-order zero-temperature coefficient; as the ratio of the width-to-length ratio of the 4.sup.th PMOS transistor to the width-to-length ratio of the 5.sup.th PMOS transistor is 1:k, the magnitude of the current I.sub.REF output by the 2.sup.nd output terminal of the reference current source is kI.sub.1; the deviation current source array is composed of the m deviation current cells of the completely identical structure, the current i.sub.a and the current i.sub.b of each deviation current source cell are obtained by copying the reference current generated by the reference current source I.sub.1, and thus the deviation current source are insensitive to temperature and voltage fluctuation; as in current sources have completely identical design parameters and share the bias voltages (V.sub.b1 and V.sub.b2) output by the deviation current source, the output currents of the deviation current source cells are equal theoretically; however, random deviations inevitably exist between the deviation current cells under the influence of process deviations, and thus the magnitudes of the copied currents are different (due to the process deviations); when the 9.sup.th PMOS transistor and the 10.sup.th PMOS transistor of each deviation current source cell are connected, the amplitude of the current source hardly changes, namely the currents copied by the deviation current source cells do not change along with the voltage change, and the deviation current source array with random deviations is controlled by challenges (d.sub.1, d.sub.2, . . . , d.sub.m) output by the input register, and finally, deviation current signals I.sub.A, I.sub.B are generated and output; as the current i.sub.a, and the current i.sub.b in each deviation current source cell are spatially adjacent, global variations between the current i.sub.a and the current i.sub.b can be eliminated to prevent influences on I.sub.A and I.sub.B, and thus the robustness is high. Therefore, the PUF circuit of the invention has high reliability, the circuit layout of the invention is designed through a full customization method based on the TSMC-LP 65 nm CMOS process, and the circuit has an area of 38 .mu.m 46 .mu.m and the average power consumption of 25.7 .mu.W (@100 MHz). Experimental results show that the PUF circuit of the invention has good uniqueness and high reliability of 99.6% when operating under different temperature (-40.about.120.degree. C.) and different voltages of (1.08.about.1.32V).
