Abstract: Disclosed is a software PUF based on an RISC-V processor for IoT security. A 32-bit RISC-V processor is used to generate abnormal information results in an abnormal operating state under a low voltage, and the abnormal information results are used to represent the features of the 32-bit RISC-V processor; 5-bit binary data obtained by comparing the abnormal information results with normal information results has high randomness and uniqueness and it is extremely difficult to directly extract internal abnormal information result from a hardware circuit of the 32-bit RISC-V processor, so modeling attacks based on the 5-bit binary data calculated according to the abnormal information results of the 32-bit RISC-V processor are almost impossible; in addition, when the 32-bit RISC-V processor is in an abnormal operating state, the operating frequency of the 32-bit RISC-V processor is dynamically adjusted through a frequency compensation method.

Abstract: Disclosed is an ML attack resisting method for a strong PUF. Response signals generated by applying multiple sets of different challenge signals to a strong PUF are used as information to be encrypted, and are put in order to form a plaintext matrix. Then a matrix multiplication operation is performed on two plaintext matrixes to generate a ciphertext matrix. Next, elements in a transform matrix obtained by performing binary transformation on the ciphertext matrix are used as final responses, which are in one-to-one correspondence with original challenge signals and are used as final CRPs of the matrix-encrypted strong PUF.

Abstract: The disclosure is a medical disease feature selection method based on an improved salp swarm algorithm. The improved salp swarm algorithm is used to optimize a feature selection problem, the accuracy of the mentioned method is estimated by means of a transfer function and classification by a K-nearest neighbor algorithm, and the salp swarm algorithm is improved by using a self-adapted control parameter and an elite grey wolf ruling policy, so that it helps the algorithm avoid premature convergence in the optimization process and jump out of local optimum, thereby achieving a target of the algorithm with the smallest selected feature quantity and the highest classification precision. The method has the advantages of high rate of convergence, higher classification precision and better robustness.
