Technical Field
The invention belongs to the field of information security, and particularly relates to a reconfigurable PUF (physical unclonable function) construction method based on random magnetic domain wall movement.
Background
Today, the information security of devices is very important in the rapid development of the internet of things. Compared with the traditional encryption method such as storing the secret key in the memory, the Physical Unclonable Function (PUF) has many advantages, such as small occupied area and low power consumption; are more difficult to attack; lower cost, etc. Therefore, PUFs have become one of the hot research hotspots in the field of hardware security in recent years.
The PUF is derived from inevitable differences generated in the manufacturing process of the device and physical randomness inside the device, so that the PUF is difficult to clone and has high safety. Applying an excitation to a device produces a unique, unpredictable response, with the same excitation producing the same response for the same device and the same excitation producing different responses for different devices. The specific stimulus-response pair forms the basis for information security authentication.
The first PUF is proposed by Pappu et al in Physical One-Way Fuctions.science 297, 2026-. However, such PUFs cannot be integrated with circuits, and many kinds of silicon-based PUFs such as sarm PUFs, arbiter PUFs, ring oscillator PUFs, and the like appear, which are currently the most widely used PUFs.
However, silicon-based PUFs have many problems, such as poor stability, resulting in false authentication; the number of CRPs is small, or the CRPs have correlation and are easy to crack; not reconfigurable and the like. The invention constructs the reconfigurable strong PUF based on the magnetic material structure, effectively solves the problems and is compatible with the CMOS process.
Patent CN201810239799 discloses a magnetic physical unclonable function device and a magnetic physical unclonable function device, which utilizes the characteristic of anisotropy of the interface of a cobalt-iron-boron film and a magnesium oxide film to prepare the physical unclonable function device based on magnetic anisotropy by changing the anisotropy at different positions. However, the randomness of the PUF is derived from the uneven thickness of the magnesium oxide film layer, the magnesium oxide is etched once, the structure determining randomness is determined, and the PUF cannot be reconstructed.

It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the invention and are not intended to limit the invention. In addition, the technical features involved in the embodiments of the present invention described below may be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other.
The prior art discloses a device based on ferromagnetic material and having an SOT (Spin-Orbit Torque) effect, which is composed of a plurality of nonvolatile device arrays, wherein the nonvolatile device has a multilayer film structure, and sequentially includes from bottom to top: a spin-current generation layer made of a heavy metal material or a topological insulator, a first pair of bottom electrodes, and a second pair of bottom electrodes; a ferromagnetic layer made of a ferromagnetic material; an insulating layer made of an insulating material; a cap layer made of a heavy metal material; the easy axis direction of the magnetic moments of the ferromagnetic layers is the vertical direction, and the first pair of bottom electrodes and the second pair of bottom electrodes are orthogonal to each other.

As shown in fig. 1, the present invention provides a reconfigurable PUF construction method based on random magnetic domain wall movement, which includes the following steps:
s1, introducing a reset current pulse to a first pair of bottom electrodes of each nonvolatile device in the devices with the SOT effect, and simultaneously adding an external magnetic field with the direction opposite to the reset current pulse to ensure that the magnetic domain magnetization directions of ferromagnetic layers in each nonvolatile device are the same;
s2, keeping the magnetic field unchanged, and introducing a set current pulse with the direction opposite to that of the reset current pulse into a first pair of bottom electrodes of each nonvolatile device to enable the magnetic domain wall of each nonvolatile device to move randomly;
s3, introducing a test current to the first pair of bottom electrodes of each nonvolatile device, and reading the abnormal Hall resistance of each nonvolatile device;
and S4, converting abnormal Hall resistors of all nonvolatile device arrays forming the device with the SOT effect into a binary password, thereby realizing the reconfigurable PUF.
S1, introducing a reset current pulse to a first pair of bottom electrodes of each nonvolatile device in the devices with the SOT effect, and simultaneously adding an external magnetic field with the direction opposite to the reset current pulse to ensure that the magnetic domain magnetization directions of the ferromagnetic layers in each nonvolatile device are the same.
When a reset current pulse is introduced into the first pair of bottom electrodes, the duration of a pulse signal is short, and current flows through the spin current generation layer, the spin current generation layer can generate spin current perpendicular to the ferromagnetic layer due to the spin-orbit coupling effect, the spin current acts on the ferromagnetic layer, and an external magnetic field is added to break the space inversion symmetry, so that the magnetic domain wall of each nonvolatile device is pushed to move to the edge, and all magnetic domain magnetization directions of the ferromagnetic layers in all the nonvolatile devices are the same.
In order to secure the SOT effect, a path of a reset current pulse introduced into the spin current generation layer needs to be secured parallel to the ferromagnetic layer and straight. The magnitude and width of the reset current pulse are dependent on the device material and process, so that all domain magnetization directions of the ferromagnetic layer in all non-volatile devices are the same.
To ensure the SOT effect, the applied magnetic field is in the opposite direction to the reset current pulse. The magnetic field strength is greater than the DMI (Dzyakhinsky-Moriya Interaction, DM Interaction) equivalent field.
In the first embodiment, a magnetron sputtering process is adopted to grow a film with Ta (10nm)/CoFeB (1nm)/MgO (1nm)/Ta (2nm) from top to bottom; then adopting photoetching and etching process to obtain 6X 6 micrometers2The nonvolatile device of (1). At this time, the reset current pulse used was 10mA in amplitude and 1ms in width.
And S2, keeping the magnetic field unchanged, and introducing a set current pulse with the direction opposite to that of the reset current pulse into the first pair of bottom electrodes of each nonvolatile device to ensure that the magnetic domain wall of each nonvolatile device moves randomly.
A set current pulse is introduced into the first pair of bottom electrodes, when current flows through the spin current generation layer, the spin current generation layer can generate spin current perpendicular to the ferromagnetic layer due to the spin orbit coupling effect, the spin current acts on the ferromagnetic layer, an external magnetic field is added to break space inversion symmetry, and magnetic domain walls are pushed to move to a certain position in the middle randomly.
In order to secure the SOT effect, the path of a set current pulse flowing in the spin current generation layer needs to be secured parallel to the ferromagnetic layer and straight. The amplitude and width of the set current pulse are smaller than those of the reset current pulse, and are determined by the material and process of the device, and the direction of the set current pulse is opposite to that of the reset current pulse.
In the first embodiment, the set current pulse has an amplitude of 7mA and a width of 0.3 ms.
And S3, introducing test current to the first pair of bottom electrodes of each nonvolatile device, and reading the abnormal Hall resistance of each nonvolatile device.
And according to the abnormal Hall effect, a test current is introduced to the first pair of bottom electrodes of the nonvolatile device, the Hall voltage of the nonvolatile device is read by utilizing the abnormal Hall effect on the second pair of bottom electrodes, so that the abnormal Hall resistance of the nonvolatile device is calculated, and the resistance value of the abnormal Hall resistance represents the position of the magnetic domain wall. For example, assuming that the resistances of the abnormal hall resistors are distributed in [ -1000m Ω, 1000m Ω ], the domain wall is located at the left edge when the resistance of the abnormal hall resistor is-1000 m Ω, the domain wall is located at the center when the resistance of the abnormal hall resistor is 0m Ω, and the domain wall is located at the right edge when the resistance of the abnormal hall resistor is 1000m Ω. The reconfigurable PUF is realized based on the change of the magnetization state of the ferromagnetic material, so that the reconfigurable PUF does not cause large loss to the material and has good durability.
Similarly, the test current path needs to be parallel to the ferromagnetic layer and straight, and the magnitude of the test current needs to be 1 order of magnitude smaller than the set current pulse.
In the first embodiment, the test current has a current of less than 0.1 mA.
And S4, converting the abnormal Hall resistance of each nonvolatile device array forming the device with the SOT effect into a binary password, thereby realizing the reconfigurable PUF.
In the device based on the SOT effect, the magnetic domain wall positions of all nonvolatile devices are randomly distributed after a set current pulse is applied, and the read state can be used as a random password.
The reconfigurable PUF is realized by assuming that a device based on the SOT effect is composed of M nonvolatile device arrays, each nonvolatile device array can generate N binary ciphers, and the device based on the SOT effect can generate M N binary ciphers.
In the first embodiment, as shown in fig. 2, rh (i) represents an abnormal hall resistance value of the i-th device. In the order of the selected non-volatile devices in the array, the first abnormal hall resistance value RH (1) is greater than the second abnormal hall resistance value RH (2), b1Is 1, otherwise b1Is 0; then the first one is compared with the third one in the same way to assign b2First to fourth comparisons … … first to nth comparisons (n being the total number of devices in the array) are assigned b in the same wayn-1. The second device repeats the above steps, and the second device is compared with the third device by assigning b in the same wayn(ii) a The third device repeats step … … n-1 devices repeat the above steps and n devices generate an n (n-1)/2 bit binary code.
Repeating S1 through S4 may enable the PUF to generate a new binary secret without being associated with the old binary secret, thereby enabling reconstruction of the PUF.
As shown in fig. 3, a second embodiment provides a reconfigurable PUF construction method based on random magnetic domain wall movement, which includes the following steps:
s1, applying a reset magnetic field pulse on a device based on an SOT effect to enable the magnetization direction of a ferromagnetic layer of each nonvolatile device to be the same as the reset magnetic field pulse direction;

and S4, converting abnormal Hall resistors of all nonvolatile device arrays forming the device with the SOT effect into a binary password, thereby realizing the reconfigurable PUF.
And S1, applying a reset magnetic field pulse on the device based on the SOT effect, so that the magnetization direction of the ferromagnetic layer of each nonvolatile device is the same as the direction of the reset magnetic field pulse.
The second embodiment is similar to the first embodiment, except that a reset current pulse is applied + an external magnetic field is replaced with a reset magnetic field pulse, a set current pulse is replaced with a set magnetic field pulse, and a magnetic domain wall is directly pushed to move by a magnetic field.
And a reset magnetic field pulse is introduced into the first pair of bottom electrodes, and the reset magnetic field pulse can enable the magnetization direction of the magnetic domain opposite to the magnetization direction to be reversed, so that the magnetic domain wall of each nonvolatile device is pushed to move to the edge, and all the magnetic domain magnetization directions of the ferromagnetic layers in all the nonvolatile devices are the same.
The pulse direction of the applied reset magnetic field is vertical to the direction of the ferromagnetic layer, and the magnetic field intensity is larger than the coercive force of the ferromagnetic layer.
And S2, applying a set magnetic field pulse opposite to the reset magnetic field pulse direction to the device based on the SOT effect to enable the magnetic domain walls of the nonvolatile devices in the device based on the SOT effect to generate random movement.
