The invention discloses a challenge screening method for improving the stability of a strong Physical Unclonable Function (PUF). If the stability of the group of challenges (GOCs) is quantized by 1 or 0, the GOCs are defined as stable challenges or unstable challenges respectively; the GOCs and the stability of corresponding responses are defined as a challenge-stability pair (CSP); a machining learning training dataset is constructed through CSPs for obtaining a screening model, to associate the challenge stability with the screening model; during actual application of the strong PUF, the challenge stability of a strong PUF is determined through the screening model, and stable challenges of the strong PUF are screened out to form a stable challenge set, which is input into the strong PUF to extract identity information. The challenge screening method can effectively improve the stability of various strong PUFs and has better effect with external disturbance increasing.

Challenge screening method for improving stability of strong physical unclonable function

Disclosed is a software PUF based on an RISC-V processor for IoT security. A 32-bit RISC-V processor is used to generate abnormal information results in an abnormal operating state under a low voltage, and the abnormal information results are used to represent the features of the 32-bit RISC-V processor; 5-bit binary data obtained by comparing the abnormal information results with normal information results has high randomness and uniqueness and it is extremely difficult to directly extract internal abnormal information result from a hardware circuit of the 32-bit RISC-V processor, so modeling attacks based on the 5-bit binary data calculated according to the abnormal information results of the 32-bit RISC-V processor are almost impossible; in addition, when the 32-bit RISC-V processor is in an abnormal operating state, the operating frequency of the 32-bit RISC-V processor is dynamically adjusted through a frequency compensation method.
