A Primer on Cryptographic Primitives and Security Attacks

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Book cover Physically Unclonable Functions

Abstract

This chapter aims to:

  1. (1)

    Provide a summary of the existing security attacks;

  2. (2)

    Explain the existing cryptographic primitives used as the building blocks of security defence mechanisms;

  3. (3)

    Explain the forces driving the development of hardware-based security solutions;

  4. (4)

    Introduce the physically unclonable functions (PUFs) technology and outlines its applications.

It is hoped that this chapter will help the reader to develop a good understanding of the motivation of secure hardware design and how physically unclonable function fit in this context.
