ABSTRACT
Physical unclonable functions (PUFs) have attracted interest in demonstrating authentication and cryptographic processes for Internet of Things (IoT) devices. We demonstrated four-dimensional PUFs (4D PUFs) to realize time-varying chaotic phosphorescent randomness on MoS2 atomic seeds. By forming hybrid states involving more than one emitter with distinct lifetimes in 4D PUFs, irregular lifetime distribution throughout patterns functions as a time-varying disorder that is impossible to replicate. Moreover, we established a bit extraction process incorporating multiple 64 bit-stream challenges and experimentally obtained physical features of 4D PUFs, producing countless random 896 bit-stream responses. Furthermore, the weak and strong PUF models were conceptualized and demonstrated based on 4D PUFs, exhibiting superior cryptological performances, including randomness, uniqueness, degree of freedom, and independent bit ratio. Finally, the data encryption and decryption in pictures were performed by a single 4D PUF. Therefore, 4D PUFs could enhance the counterfeiting deterrent of existing optical PUFs and be used as an anticounterfeiting security strategy for advanced authentication and cryptographic processes of IoT devices.
