The Ring Oscillator Physical Unclonable Function (RO-PUF) is a hardware security innovation that creates a secure and distinct identifier by utilizing the special physical properties of ring oscillators. Their unique response, low hardware overhead, and difficulty of reproduction are some of the security benefits that make them valuable in safe authentication systems. Numerous developments, such as temperature adjustment methods, aging mitigation, and better architecture and layout, have been created to increase its security, dependability, and efficiency. However, achieving the sacrifice metric makes it challenging to implement with additional complex circuits. This work focuses on stability improvement in terms of the reliability of the RO-PUF in enhanced challenge and response (CRP) by exploiting existing on-chip hard processors. This work establishes only ROs and their counters inside the chip. The built-in microprocessor performs the remaining process using the intermediary process of a Q factor and new frequency mapping. As a result, the reliability improves significantly to 95.8% compared to previous methods. The proper use of resources due to the limitation of on-chip resources has been emphasized by considering that a hard processor exists inside the new FPGA chip. © 2025 by the authors.
