 A key difference to the Two-Metric approach is the alignment of quantization areas. 
 Methods described in @tmhd1 and @tmhd2 use two bounds for 1-bit quantization, namely $plus.minus a$.
 Contrary, the method introduced by Fischer in @smhd would look more like a sign-based quantizer if the configuration $cal(Q)(2, 1)$ is used, using only one quantization bound at $x=0$.

 === Enrollment
 
 To enroll our PUF key, we will first need to define the quantizer for higher order bit quantization and helper data generation. 
 Because our transformed PUF readout $tilde(x)$ can be interpreted as a realization of a uniformly distributed variable $tilde(X)$, we can define the width $Delta$ of our quantizer bins as follows: 
 
-$ Delta = frac(1, 2^m) . $<eq:delta>
+$ Delta = frac(1, 2^M) . $<eq:delta>
 
 For example, if we were to extract a symbol with the width of 2 bits from our PUF readout, we would need to evenly space $2^2 = 4$ bins. Using equation @eq:delta, the step size for a 2-bit quantizer would result to: 
 
-$ Delta' = lr(frac(1, 2^m) mid(|))_(m=2)= frac(1, 4) . $
