Discover Nano
Discover Nano is an open access journal publishing research from across all areas of nanoscience and nanotechnology.
Optical PUFs exploit the inherent randomness in optical phenomena, offering unique, unclonable signatures suitable for secure authentication and anti-counterfeiting applications. Contributions will present state-of-the-art optical PUF approaches and will evaluate the potential of these for integration into authentication systems, secure communications, and IoT devices. Bringing together leading researchers, this collection will examine recent progress and discuss remaining challenges thus providing a comprehensive understanding of optical PUF technology and its promising future in enhancing security across diverse industries.
Keywords: Physical Unclonable Functions, laser techniques, speckle, security, True random number generators, anticounterfeiting, cryptography
