This report aims to understand the structure and function of SRAM-based Physical Unclonable Functions (PUFs) and how they can be used in cybersecurity. It will cover the process of reading the boot state of SRAM to generate a key used in securing systems. After creating the key, we will explore the impact of aging on Static Random Access Memory (SRAM) cells to clone a PUF. By researching this topic, the objective is to enhance the understanding of the role of SRAM in cybersecurity and the potential vulnerabilities and risks associated with its use. The paper will conclude by discussing the need for improved security measures and the importance of ongoing research in this area.
