A METHOD FOR INVESTIGATING MACHINE LEARNING ATTACKS ON ARBITER-TYPE PHYSICALLY UNCLONABLE FUNCTIONS by Yuri A. Korotaev

“…This approach allows for a preliminary evaluation of the effectiveness of different algorithms for attacking APUFs without access to challenge-response datasets from real instances of physically unclonable functions. Attacks were conducted on models of basic and modified variants of APUFs from the open-source library "pypuf", using classical logistic regression and artificial neural networks (ANNs). …”
