Abstract

A method for enabling a verifying party to verify an identity of a target party or device. The method comprises, in a set-up phase: storing, in a data store, a respective piece of response data for each of a set of one or more responses resulting from a setting-up party inputting a respective set of one or more challenges into a PUF module comprising a physically unclonable function, PUF, to generate the one or more responses based on the PUF; and storing an indication of the set of challenges in the data store. The indication does not comprise a value of each of the challenges in the set, but rather a master challenge from which the set of challenges is derivable by applying a derivation function to the master challenge.
