    Abstract

    In this project we investigate dierent hardware authentication schemes based on Phys-

    ically Unclonable Functions. We start by analyzing the concepts of a fuzzy extractor

    and a secure sketch from an information-theoretic perspective. We then present a hard-

    ware implementation of a fuzzy extractor which uses the code oset construction with

    BCH codes. Finally, we propose a new cryptographic protocol for PUF authentication

    based upon polynomial interpolation using Sudan's list-decoding algorithm. We provide

    preliminary results into the feasibility of this protocol, by looking at the practicality of

    nding a polynomial that can be assigned as a cryptographic key to each device.
