Overview

In cryptography, an attack can be performed by injecting one or several faults into a device thus disrupting the functional behavior of the device. Techniques commonly used to inject faults consist in introducing variations in the source voltage, clock frequency, temperature, or irradiating with a laser beam etc.

Unlike analog sensors which are dedicated to the detection of a specific perturbation attack, the Digital Sensor is designed to detect various threats belonging to the family of Fault Injection Attacks (FIA):

  • Input clock frequency (clock glitches, overclocking)
  • Input voltage (power glitches, underfeeding)
  • Temperature (heating)
  • Radiations (laser spot, light spot, electromagnetic)

Digital Sensor converts all monitored stresses into a timing stress which is then measured. When a threat is detected, it provides the system with a measurement of the threat’s level and it raises the hardware alarm.

 

Key features

  • Detects global and local fault injections such as laser, EMFI, clock or temperature
  • Difficult to identify by an attacker (melted within the rest of design)
  • Real-time hardware alarm
  • Embeds health-test to validate the integrity of the IP during the boot and on-demand
  • Proven technology with stochastic model for reliability and security estimation
  • Tested in the Security Science Factory Lab, using global stress (e.g., clock glitch) and local stress (e.g., electromagnetic injection)
  • Security certification ready (incl. Common Criteria)
  • Fully digital and designed with the standard cells library
  • Transferable to any design kit
  • Lightweight
  • Customizable sensitivity
  • Compatible with clock gating feature
  • Several sensors can be regrouped around a unique bus interface
  • No calibration after design
  • Support DVFS
  • Easy to integrate into the system
  • AMBA (APB, AHB, AXI) interface
