Abstract
Technologies are provided for clockless physically unclonable functions (PUFs) in reconfigurable devices. Embodiments of the disclosed technologies include processing circuitry configured to perform numerous operations. The operations can include receiving a challenge continuous pulse signal, and generating a response continuous pulse signal by iteratively extending the challenge continuous pulse signal in time-domain. In some configurations, the iteratively extending includes generating a next continuous pulse signal by operating on a prior continuous pulse signal according to a stretching function, and generating a second next continuous pulse width signal by operating on the next continuous pulse signal according to a folding function.
