Accelerating PUF-based UAV Authentication Protocols Using Programmable Switch

Many UAV technology use cases (e.g., traffic management) has ultra-low latency and strong security requirements. But achieving both simultaneously is challenging. In this work, we consider UAV device authentication as a use case and develop a fast and secure UAV device authentication system. Our key idea is to leverage highly secure Physically Unclonable Functions (PUFs) and high-speed programmabl...
