LPCXpresso55S69-EVK - PUF to generate consistent output if input is consistent?

hmo058 — Thu, 18 Jan 2024 12:40:46 GMT

Hello!

Is it possible to use the PUF functionality to generate a consistent input given a consistent input?

The closest I have come to a solution is to use SetKey with a provided key and use the output keycode as a consistent input to retrieve the initially provided key acting as the consistent response.

I tried using SetKey multiple times with a consistent user key, but every time it would give me a different keycode. Any way to satisfy my request? I realize it's not really the intended usage, but I have a niche requirement.

Regards, Henrik

Hello @hmo058

"I tried using SetKey multiple times with a consistent user key, but every time it would give me a different keycode."

->> Do you enroll only one time or enroll every time. If only one time, and other parameters all the same, the output should the same.

Yeah, I attempted to make two calls in a sequential manner like this with the exact same inputs and it still produces different key codes. I am assuming there is some intended random element included? PUF_Setup_Start is simply a wrapper function I made.

@Alice_Yang Mentioning since I managed to reply to my own topic...

PRINTF("Received SETKEY message with key:\r\n"); for(int i = MESSAGE_HEADER_LENGTH; i < 40; i++) { PRINTF("%d", g_rxBuffer[i]); PRINTF(" - "); } PRINTF("\r\n"); // Want to LOAD the activation code from the 3rd last page of flash memory. destAdrss = flash_properties.pflashBlockBase + (flash_properties.pflashTotalSize - (PAGE_INDEX_FROM_END * flash_properties.PflashPageSize)); // LOAD AC FLASH_Read(&flashInstance, destAdrss, activationCode, sizeof(activationCode)); PUF_Setup_Start(PUF, activationCode, sizeof(activationCode)); result = PUF_SetUserKey(PUF, kPUF_KeyIndex_01, &g_rxBuffer[MESSAGE_HEADER_LENGTH], 32, keyCode0, sizeof(keyCode0)); if (result != kStatus_Success) { PRINTF("Error setting user key!\r\n"); exit(1); } PRINTF("Sending KEYCODE0 (result of set key in index 1):\r\n"); for(int i = 0; i < 52; i++) { PRINTF("%d", keyCode0[i]); PRINTF(" - "); } PRINTF("\r\n"); PRINTF("SECOND CALL BELOW:\r\n"); result = PUF_SetUserKey(PUF, kPUF_KeyIndex_01, &g_rxBuffer[MESSAGE_HEADER_LENGTH], 32, keyCode0, sizeof(keyCode0)); if (result != kStatus_Success) { PRINTF("Error setting user key!\r\n"); exit(1); } PRINTF("Sending KEYCODE0 (result of set key in index 1):\r\n"); for(int i = 0; i < 52; i++) { PRINTF("%d", keyCode0[i]); PRINTF(" - "); } PRINTF("\r\n");

Output:
