Multiply Constant-Weight Codes and the Reliability of Loop Physically Unclonable Functions

초록

We introduce the class of multiply constant-weight codes to improve the reliability of certain physically unclonable function response, and extend classical coding methods to construct multiply constant-weight codes from known q-ary and constant-weight codes. We derive analogs of Johnson bounds and give constructions showing these bounds to be asymptotically tight up to a constant factor under certain conditions. We also examine the rates of multiply constant-weight codes and demonstrate that these rates are the same as those of constant-weight codes of corresponding parameters.
