Abstract
This chapter covers the three basic applications of physical unclonable functions in more detail. The first application is the identification in which the PUF is used to provide a number. This number can later be used to identify things that include a PUF. The second application is the key generation. In this case PUFs are used to provide a number that is utilized to generate a cryptographic key. It is especially important that the PUF provides a reliable output. The third and last basic application is authentication in which the PUF returns a response to an incoming challenge. Three types of authentication schemes are explained.
