Because a set of PUF circuit can produce 2 bit outputs, more sets of PUF circuits can be added as required to be used in parallel, specifically, the multiple sets of PUF circuits are connected in parallel in sequence, so that a serial number output circuit with the serial number determined by the PUF circuits is formed, m sets of PUF circuits can be connected in parallel according to the length of the serial number, as shown in fig. 9, each PUF circuit outputs two bit output values respectively, and the m sets of output two bit output values can be arranged in sequence to form the 2 m-bit serial number.
If a 16-bit serial number output needs to be generated and 8-bit secret key reading is carried out, 8 groups of PUF circuits are used in total, the design of each PUF circuit is kept to be completely the same, the fine error of each PUF circuit only comes from an unpredictable natural random source during production, output values are made to have unpredictable natural randomness, namely chips produced through the same circuit and the same process are unique and cannot be copied, so that the serial number generation process of the chips cannot be copied even if the circuits of the chips are completely disclosed, the chips cannot be erased and modified like a method of writing serial numbers in flash, and the circuits further have a serial number protection function, and correct serial numbers can be obtained only when correct secret keys are input.
It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that various changes and modifications may be made in the invention without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention. Thus, if such modifications and variations of the present invention fall within the scope of the claims of the present invention and their equivalents, the present invention is also intended to include such modifications and variations.
