  • Publication number: 20220410607
    Abstract: A 3D physical unclonable functions (PUF) system produced based on harnessing the out-of-plane crumpling of a layer of 2D material during shrinkage of a substrate carrying such layer. The structural details of the so-formed 3D PUF pattern are extracted from the tags in a layer-by-layer fashion using confocal laser microscopy imaging and then reconstructed to form the 3D PUF keys and stored in the database, serving as a secure anti-counterfeiting PUF that demonstrates encoding capacity in excess of 1040,000,000. Authentication is performed with a customized trained Siamese neural network framework in a matter of few minutes in a fashion that does not depend on rotation, linear translation, tilt, variations of contrast and/or resolution of the extracted optical images.
