Addressing the security concerns of IoT : physical unclonable functions with improved reconfigurability, reliability and machine learning attack resistance by Shah, Nimesh Kirit

“…A PUF derives secret keys from manufacturing variability for example threshold voltage mismatches in a transistor array. Another emerging trend is edge computing where low power processors refine the data before transmission at the sensor node or “edge” of the network, as opposed to the earlier concept of cloud computing which is more energy and bandwidth intensive. …”
