Systematic review demonstrates performance trade-offs across emerging non-volatile memory physical unclonable functions, highlighting integration pathways for low-power edge device security.

Key Points

To systematically review the technical evolution of memory-based physical unclonable functions (MemPUFs) and evaluate performance trade-offs across emerging non-volatile memory technologies.
Reviewed technical lineages and entropy sources of emerging MemPUFs, including RRAM, MRAM, FeRAM, and PCRAM.
Statistically analyzed performance metrics across reliability, security, and energy efficiency from representative studies over the past five years.
Analyzed the dual impacts of multi-level cell technology and computing-in-memory convergence on security primitives.
Demonstrated that specific device selection fundamentally governs performance trade-offs across entropy density, reliability, and energy efficiency in emerging MemPUFs.
Identified multi-level cell technology as presenting dual impacts by increasing entropy generation capacity while introducing stability and error-rate challenges.
Characterized computation-security integration architectures as a viable design pathway for next-generation hardware security in edge computing.
