“…Most cPUFs generate only a finite, albeit possibly exponential (in some desired security parameters), number of CRPs [11]. However, most of them remain vulnerable against different attacks like side-channel [50,11] and machine-learning [19,44,43,28]. Thus, considering the importance of cPUFs as a hardware security primitive in several real-world applications, on one hand, [11,26,15,2,33,30,36] 1 and the recent advances in quantum technology, on the other hand, it is worth investigating whether quantum technologies could boost the security of cPUFs or if they, on the contrary, threaten their security.…”
