Experimental FIA Methodology Using Clock and Control Signal Modifications under Power Supply and Temperature Variations

The security of cryptocircuits is determined not only for their mathematical formulation, but for their physical implementation. The so-called fault injection attacks, where an attacker inserts faults during the operation of the cipher to obtain a malfunction to reveal secret information, pose a ser...
