Physical Unclonable Function(PUF)-based security protocols are effective in mitigating various security threats, including eavesdropping, interception, and cloning. Nevertheless, most existing protocols are implemented in software, with the primary drawback being their inability to integrate with actual PUF and their inefficiency. Although some strategies incorporate PUF into their design, these systems do not allow for configuration changes and are deficient in flexibility. In this paper, we propose the CoDPoC IP, a configurable data protection circuit that supports PUF-based various key agreement authentication schemes and allows for flexible scheme design adjustments through configurable registers. The CoDPoC IP offers two advantages: 1) hardware-level implementation incorporates PUF, leading to higher resource utilization, efficiency, and security; and 2) the IP supports flexible configuration of schemes. Experimental results indicate that the hardware execution time is 0.03504 milliseconds. The proposed scheme is successfully implemented and verified with low-overhead hardware.
