Electromagnetic security for SoC
Résumé
This experimental study addresses the problem of
assessing the digital security of System on Chip (SoC) against
electromagnetic (EM) hardware attacks through their packages.
With large and complex circuits such as SoC, finding the right
location and the right time to examine attacks such as side
channel analysis and fault injection is a real challenge. In
addition, setting up properly the parameters of these attacks
is time consuming. This article presents, through an application
to a commercial SoC, an approach which, based on side channel
analysis results, performs a fault injection attack. This approach
shows firstly, the potential time saved to determine the injection
time parameter of the fault attack and secondly, it enables to
analyze the duality between the emission fields and the areas
where errors occur. Thus, a security test of the SoC against EM
field is presented in this study.
