Assuring Cybersecurity for the Internet of things (IoT) remains a significant challenge. Most IoT devices have minimal computational power and should be secured with lightweight security techniques (optimized computation and energy tradeoff). Furthermore, IoT devices are mainly designed to have long lifetimes (e.g., 10–15 years), forcing the designers to open the system for possible future updates. Here, we developed a lightweight and reconfigurable security architecture for IoT devices. Our research goal is to create a simple authentication protocol based on physical unclonable function (PUF) for FPGA-based IoT devices. The main challenge toward realization of this protocol is to make it make it resilient against machine learning attacks and it shall not use cryptography primitives.
