Abstract

A method and a program capable of controlling an error rate of device-specific information are provided. Provided is the method for controlling an error rate of device-specific information, including a step S1 of: inputting each of i (i is an arbitrary natural number) challenges, j times (j is an arbitrary natural number), into a PUF mounted chip; leaving j responses intact (j′=j) or processing j responses into j′ pieces (02 of inputting i challenges into the database, a step S3 of: reading j′ responses corresponding to the respective i challenges from the database; concatenating the j′ responses for each piece of the input data; further concatenating the concatenated data by k′ repetitions (04 of: inputting i challenges, k times, for each challenge into the PUF mounted chip; leaving obtained k responses intact as k′=k or processing the obtained k responses into k′ pieces (05 of deciding whether or not the synthesized output data matches the reference data (specifically, whether a Hamming distance between both data is a threshold value or less), and the method determines whether or not the error rate of the synthesized output data is within a preset range based on the decision result in step S5, and changes at least one of i, j, j′, k, and k′ to repeat steps S1 to S5 until the error rate falls within the preset range if the error rate is determined not to be within the preset range.
