In this paper, we propose a novel Ring-Oscillator Physical Unclonable Functions (RO-PUF) architecture using Programmable Delay Lines (PDL) in Field Gate Arrays (FPGA). Our proposed PUF uses PDL to change the propagation path inside Look Up Table (LUT), thereby changing output of RO. Depending on changed RO, different response outputs occur for same RO-PUF and challenge input. We have examined how challenge-response pairs structure according PDL.
