contents By 2025, the internet of things (IoT) is projected to connect over 75 billion devices globally, fundamentally altering how we interact with our environments in both urban and rural settings. However, IoT device security remains challenging, particularly in the authentication process. Traditional cryptographic methods often struggle with the constraints of IoT devices, such as limited computational power and storage. This paper considers physical unclonable functions (PUFs) as robust security solutions, utilizing their inherent physical uniqueness to authenticate devices securely. However, traditional PUF systems are vulnerable to machine learning (ML) attacks and burdened by large datasets. Our proposed solution introduces a lightweight PUF mechanism, called LPUF-AuthNet, combining tandem neural networks (TNN) with a split learning (SL) paradigm. The proposed approach provides scalability, supports mutual authentication, and enhances security by resisting various types of attacks, paving the way for secure integration into future 6G technologies.
