On-Chip Physical Attack Protection Circuits for Hardware Security : Invited Paper

Abstract

Hardware security, application of modern digital cryptography and authentication technologies for protecting information in electronics, involves analog functionality to avoid physical threats in operation fields. This paper introduces semiconductor integrated circuits designed for on-chip detection and disablement of malicious attempts on cryptographic devices through side-channel and fault attacks. The protection against local electromagnetic attack (LEMA) and laser fault injection attack (LFIA) are demonstrated with Silicon measurements.
