Abstract

Authenticating Internet of Things (IoT) devices is still a defiant task, despite the remarkable technological advancement achieved in the last few years. The issue is especially challenging in scenarios involving low-cost constrained nodes, hardly supporting dynamic re-keying algorithms. To provide a viable general-purpose solution, we propose MAG-PUF: a novel and lightweight authentication scheme using unintentional magnetic emissions produced by IoT devices to implement Physical Unclonable Functions (PUFs). Our extensive experimental campaign, involving 25 Arduino boards and four example reference functions, unveiled an outstanding authentication accuracy of over 99%, proving the feasibility of using code-driven magnetic emissions as a lightweight, efficient, and robust PUF for IoT deployments.
