Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) Studies on physical unclonable function (PUF) have been actively conducted as one of the countermeasures against counterfeited chips. PUF is a circuit that serves as a function which returns a response corresponding to a given challenge. In addition to uniqueness and reproducibility, resistance against machine learning attacks has been emphasized as an important metric to evaluate PUF. Most of existing PUFs are vulnerable to the machine learning attacks such as support vector machine (SVM). This paper proposes a PUF architecture that improves resistance against machine learning attacks. By utilizing the fact that the convergence time of a bistable ring circuit changes strongly nonlinearly with respect to threshold voltage variation, the proposed PUF generates response as an instantaneous value of a ring oscillator at a convergence time of the bistable ring running in parallel. Resistance against machine learning attacks as well as randomness, diffuseness, uniqueness, and reproducibility of the proposed PUF have been validated through SPICE simulations.
