How one team of researchers in Asia are using physically unclonable functions to help thwart electronics counterfeiters.

The growing prevalence of counterfeit products around the globe poses serious threats to economic security and human health. Knowing this, a team of researchers in Asia are developing advanced anti-counterfeiting materials with physical “unclonable functions.” The team created diamond-based anti-counterfeiting labels that are unique and known in the industry as physically unclonable functions (PUFs), and have published their findings in Nature Communications.
