论文摘要
在这项工作中，描述了由Mach-Zehnder干涉仪网络组成的用于身份验证任务的网络的新颖用法。物理上无统一的功能硬件是完全可重新配置的，可以利用大量看似独立的设备，从而模仿大量的单一响应物理上无可吻合的函数。有人提出，任何可重新配置的MACH-ZEHNDER干涉仪都可以用作身份验证机制，不仅用于物理对象，而且用于经典和量子的信息。提出的用于具有可重新配置硬件的完全光学物理上无荡妇功能的用例是对受信任和可能受信任的聚会之间的消息进行身份验证。验证收到的消息是由真实设备的持有人生成的。
In this work the novel usage of a physically unclonable function composed of a network of Mach-Zehnder interferometers for authentication tasks is described. The physically unclonable function hardware is completely reconfigurable, allowing for a large number of seemingly independent devices to be utilized, thus imitating a large array of single-response physically unclonable functions. It is proposed that any reconfigurable array of Mach-Zehnder interferometers can be used as an authentication mechanism, not only for physical objects, but for information transmitted both classically and quantumly. The proposed use-case for a fully-optical physically unclonable function, designed with reconfigurable hardware, is to authenticate messages between a trusted and possibly untrusted party; verifying that the messages received are generated by the holder of the authentic device.
