In this paper, we propose flash-based hardware security primitives as a\nviable solution to meet the security challenges of the IoT and specifically\ntelehealth markets. We have created a novel solution, called the High and Low\n(HaLo) method, that generates physical unclonable function (PUF) signatures\nbased on process variations within flash memory in order to uniquely identify\nand authenticate remote sensors. The HaLo method consumes 60% less power than\nconventional authentication schemes, has an average latency of only 39ms for\nsignature generation, and can be readily implemented through firmware on ONFI\n2.2 compliant off-the-shelf NAND flash memory chips. The HaLo method generates\n512 bit signatures with an average error rate of 5.9 * 10^-4, while also\nadapting for flash chip aging. Due to its low latency, low error rate, and high\npower efficiency, the HaLo method could help progress the field of remote\npatient monitoring by accurately and efficiently authenticating remote health\nsensors.\n
