Fault Analysis in Cryptography

In the 1970s researchers noticed that radioactive particles produced by elements naturally present in packaging material could cause bits to flip in sensitive areas of electronic chips. Research into the effect of cosmic rays on semiconductors, an area of

Foreword

Fault attacks is an active area of research in cryptography, currently explored in hundreds of research papers and dedicated conferences. This book is the first comprehensive treatment of the subject covering both the theory and practice of these attacks as well as defense techniques. Fault attacks exploit the fact that computers sometimes make mistakes. These mistakes can re
