Abstract

This article presents the first-ever blockchain that can simultaneously handle device and data security, which is important for the emerging Internet-of-Everything (IoE). It presents a unique concept of blockchain that integrates hardware security primitives called physical unclonable functions (PUFs) to solve scalability, latency, and energy requirement challenges and is called PUFchain. This article also introduces a new consensus algorithm called Proof of PUF-Enabled Authentication (PoP) for deployment in PUFchain. PoP is 1000 times faster than the well-established proof-of-work (PoW) and 5 times faster than proof-of-authentication (PoAh).
