Physically Unclonable Functions (PUFs) are a promising solution for identity verification and asymmetric encryption. In this paper, a new Resistive Random Access Memory (ReRAM) PUF-based protocol is presented to create a physical ReRAM PUF with a large challenge space. This protocol uses differential reads from unformed ReRAM as the method for response generation. Lastly, this paper also provides an experimental hardware demonstration of this protocol on a Physical ReRAM device, along with providing notable results as a PUF, with excellent performance characteristics.
