Using intrinsic properties of quantum dots to provide additional security when uniquely identifying devices

Abstract Unique identification of optical devices is important for anti-counterfeiting. Physical unclonable functions (PUFs), which use random physical characteristics for authentication, are advantageous over existing optical solutions, such as holograms, due to the inherent asymmetry in their fabr...
