Automatic Integration of Counter-Measures Against Fault Injection Attacks

چکیده
This paper describes a technology aiming at enforcing semiautomatically counter-measures against fault injection attacks of smart cards. This technology addresses in a generic way the whole software embedded on the card. In particular, it addresses threats going beyond cryptography-related parts of the embedded software, like threats against the firewall of the Java Card embedded virtual machine, the PIN code verification, etc. Counter-measures are automatically integrated to the source code at the pre-compilation step, according to a guideline defined by the programmer under the form of a set of directives included into the source code.

Yet Another Fault Injection Technique : by Forward Body Biasing Injection
Nowadays fault attacks are widely deployed against secure devices by hardware evaluation centers. While the least expensive fault injection techniques, like clock or voltage glitches, are well taken into account in secure devices by dedicated hardware, more advanced techniques, such as light based attacks, require huge investments. To protect devices against these types of attacks requires comp...
متن کاملHigh Speed AES Algorithm to Detect Fault Injection Attacks and Implementation using FPGA
Information security is an essential issue in communication system. Advance Encryption Standard (AES) is utilized as a part of many embedded applications to give data security. Different counter measures are present in AES against fault injection attacks. Plain text and key of 128-bit is given as an input to the system and encryption and decryption operations are performed. Flag error shows the...
متن کاملAlgorithmic Countermeasures Against Fault Attacks and Power Analysis for RSA-CRT
In this work, we analyze all existing RSA-CRT countermeasures against the Bellcore attack that use binary self-secure exponentiation algorithms. We test their security against a powerful adversary by simulating fault injections in a fault model that includes random, zeroing, and skipping faults at all possible fault locations. We find that most of the countermeasures are vulnerable and do not p...
متن کاملDependability evaluation of integrated circuits at design time against laser fault injection
Q1 Laser fault injection has been proved to be a useful tool for attacks on integrated circuits. Transistors hit by a pulse of photons causes them to conduct transiently, thereby introducing transient logic errors, such as register value modifications, memory dumping, and so on. Attackers can make use of this abnormal behavior and extract sensitive information that the devices try to protect. T...
متن کاملAn Information Theoretic Perspective on the Differential Fault Analysis against AES
Differential Fault Analysis against AES has been actively studied these years. Based on similar assumptions of the fault injection, different DFA attacks against AES have been proposed. However, it is difficult to understand how different attack results are obtained for the same fault injection. It is also difficult to understand the relationship between similar assumptions of fault injection a...
