Authenticated communication from Quantum Readout of PUFs
| Abstract | Quantum readout of physical unclonable functions (PUFs) is a recently introduced method for remote authentication of objects. We present an extension of the protocol to enable the authentication of data: A verifier can check if received classical data were sent by the PUF holder. We call this modification QR-d or, in the case of the optical-PUF implementation, QSA-d. We discuss how QSA-d can be operate din a parallel way. We also present a protocol for authenticating quantum states. |
