- Abstract
An SR-latch can be regarded as primitive to build a True Random Number Generation (TRNG) or Physically Unclonable Function (PUF). Indeed, when the SR inputs of the latch are tied together and go from an unknown state (i.e. S=R=1) to a memory state (i.e. S=R=0), the behaviour depends on the balance between the NAND or NOR gates composing the latch. With the process mismatch, there is a great chance that the latch converges towards the same state, thus creating a PUF equivalent to a SRAM-PUF or latch-PUF. However, if the latch is well-balanced, it can enter a metastable state and converges to a stable state depending on the input noise, thus making a TRNG. In order to make sure some latches are able to behave like a TRNG, and some like a PUF, we consider a set of latches driven by the same SR signal. A test-chip in 28nm UTBB-FD-SOI technology has been designed with 1024 latches in order to analyze the behavior. The FD-SOI technology enables easy change of the performances of gates using the body biasing, which consists in applying a specific body voltage to each gate.
Hence, the two NOR gates composing the SR-latch can be tuned individually to get the optimality, i.e. the maximum entropy, for both PUF and TRNG. The results show that the optimal point is the same for both PUF and TRNG, and that the proposed
structure can generate concurrently a PUF with high reliability, and a TRNG with high speed.
