Helper Data Masking for Physically Unclonable Function-Based Key Generation Algorithms
Published in IEEE Access, 2022
This paper is about how to secure the fuzzy extractor and error correction codes from adversaries who aim to enforce key values by manipulating the helper data. The paper proposes a countermeasure that masks the helper data to eliminate the efficacy of manipulation.
