Reaping the benefits of the Internet of things (IoT) system is contingent upon developing IoT-specific security solutions. Conventional security and authentication solutions often fail to meet IoT security requirements due to the…
The concept of Secret Unknown Ciphers (SUCs) was introduced a decade ago as a new visionary concept without devising practical real-world examples. The major contribution of this work is to show the feasibility of "self-mutating" unknown…
Hardware security primitives including True Random Number Generators (TRNG) and Physical Unclonable Functions (PUFs) are central components to establishing a root of trust in microelectronic systems. In this paper, we propose a unified…
Low-light conditions and occluded scenarios impede object detection in real-world Internet of Things (IoT) applications like autonomous vehicles and security systems. While advanced machine learning models strive for accuracy, their…
Internet of Things (IoT) is a system of interrelated devices that can be used to allow large-scale collection and analysis of data. However, as it grew, IoT networks were not capable of managing the data from these services. As a result,…
Ring oscillators (ROs) are a robust way to implement a physical unclonable function (PUF) into ASICs or FPGAs, but claims of predictability arose recently. We describe why this likely results from not using adjacent ROs for pairwise…
Device identification is the process of identifying a device on Internet without using its assigned network or other credentials. The sharp rise of usage in Internet of Things (IoT) devices has imposed new challenges in device…
The signing key protection of Certificate Authorities (CAs) remains a critical challenge in PKI. Traditional approaches struggle to eliminate the risk of key exposure due to those (un)intentional human errors. This long-standing dilemma…
Emerging applications of photonics in computing, sensing, and security increasingly demand complex input-output behaviors, including highly nonlinear transformations of optical signals. Traditional photonic systems rely on highly structured…
The Internet of Things (IoT) provides applications and services that would otherwise not be possible. However, the open nature of IoT make it vulnerable to cybersecurity threats. Especially, identity spoofing attacks, where an adversary…
This article presents a reconfigurable physically unclonable function (PUF) design fabricated using 65-nm CMOS technology. A subthreshold-inverter-based static PUF cell achieves 0.3% native bit error rate (BER) at 0.062-fJ per bit core…
Many password alternatives for web authentication proposed over the years, despite having different designs and objectives, all predominantly rely on the knowledge of some secret. This motivates us, herein, to provide the first detailed…
It is estimated that the number of IoT devices will reach 75 billion in the next five years. Most of those currently, and to be deployed, lack sufficient security to protect themselves and their networks from attack by malicious IoT devices…
Drones have been widely used in various services, such as delivery and surveillance. Authentication forms the foundation of the security of these services. However, drones are expensive and may carry important payloads. To avoid being…
