The project focuses on the use of PUFs (Physical Unclonable Functions) as physical authentication credentials, and in particular Quantum Readout of PUFs. This enables remote authentication of physical credentials without the need to trust remote devices.
- One of the goals is to achieve Quantum Readout through a long optical fiber, with random challenges in the time-frequency domain.
- A broader topic of interest is the use of PUFs in quantum security schemes in general.
- The research is done at an institute for the protection of systems and information, in close collaboration with a technology company and fiber optics experts.
- This position is part of a funded project, which aims to address open problems in the practical realisation of quantum authentication of optical PUFs through single-mode fiber.
