Resumo:
Secure components and devices have always been and always will be a challenge for
the electronics industry. In this sense, there is a constant and growing demand for new
solutions that can allow reliability in the use and authenticity of components and devices. The
end-user is not able to assess the existing risk, much less if the component or device is reliable
in several aspects, mainly improper access to its information. This work presents a new
approach with the integration of two tech-nologies: Blockchains networks, which implement a
kind of decentralized and inviolable database, which can increase resilience, security and
guarantee against the alteration of the information registered in its structure; Physical
Unclonable Functions (PUF), which allow the generation of a strong cryptographic key, since
they use unique physical characteristics of each semiconductor component, considerably
increasing security, simplicity, protection of industrial property and the opportunity for remote
authentication of devices. The contribution here is in the integration of existing technologies,
in order to obtain an innovative solution of authentication and cyber security for the internet
of things and others devices.
