Design And Evaluation Of Fpga-Based Hybrid Physically Unclonable Functions, Sasan Khoshroo May 2013

Design And Evaluation Of Fpga-Based Hybrid Physically Unclonable Functions, Sasan Khoshroo

Electronic Thesis and Dissertation Repository

A Physically Unclonable Function (PUF) is a new and promising approach to provide security for physical systems and to address the problems associated with traditional approaches. One of the most important performance metrics of a PUF is the randomness of its generated response, which is presented via uniqueness, uniformity, and bit-aliasing. In this study, we implement three known PUF schemes on an FPGA platform, namely SR Latch PUF, Basic RO PUF, and Anderson PUF. We then perform a thorough statistical analysis on their performance. In addition, we propose the idea of the Hybrid PUF structure in which two (or more) …


Fpga To Power System Theorization For A Fault Location And Specification Algorithm, Christina Yeoman Jan 2013

Fpga To Power System Theorization For A Fault Location And Specification Algorithm, Christina Yeoman

Theses and Dissertations--Electrical and Computer Engineering

Fault detection and location algorithms have allowed for the power industry to alter the power grid from the traditional model to becoming a smart grid. This thesis implements an already established algorithm for detecting faults, as well as an impedance-based algorithm for detecting where on the line the fault has occurred and develops a smart algorithm for future HDL conversion using Simulink. Using the algorithms, the ways in which this implementation can be used to create a smarter grid are the fundamental basis for this research. Simulink was used to create a two-bus power system, create environment variables, and then …
