Abstract :
One essential reason for a large class of security gaps in modern systems is the missing secure identity and thus the inherent easier cloning and replacement attacks on the system. Physical Unclonable Functions PUF have been proposed to make electronic devices physically unique through the born fabrication differences such that even the manufacturer would not be able to produce two equal entities. This work is proposing a less complex and practically clone-resistant identity based on hardwired structural techniques defined earlier as an electronic mutation [10]. The work is attempting to improve the identity resilience by adding a supplementary secured living identity profile to the operating entity. This identity profile is similar to the supplementary identification means deployed in real world living biological environment.Crypto-techniques are deploying one-way functions to construct ciphers. The proposed technique is deploying the time progress as a real world one-way-function. The reason is that time can not be wound back and traces of occurred events hardly disappear even if some traces are deliberately removed.
