With the exponential increase in the popularity of the RISC-V ecosystem, the security of this platform must be re-evaluated especially for mission-critical and IoT devices. Besides, the insertion of a Hardware Trojan (HT) into a chip after the in-house ...

Optical probing, though developed as silicon debugging tools from the chip backside, has shown its capability of extracting secret data, such as cryptographic keys and user identifications, from modern system-on-chip devices. Existing optical probing ...

This paper introduces a new class of optical fault injection attacks called bumping attacks. These attacks are aimed at data extraction from secure embedded memory, which usually stores critical parts of algorithms, sensitive data and cryptographic ...

The prerequisite to physical analysis for IC functionality in nanoscale technologies is access through the chip backside. Based on typical global backside preparation with a moderate silicon thickness of 50 to 100 microns remaining, the authors of this ...

This paper introduces a refinement of the power-analysis attack on integrated circuits. By using a laser to illuminate a specific area on the chip surface, the current through an individual transistor can be made visible in the circuit’s power trace. ...

This paper explains a new family of techniques to extract data from semiconductormemory, without using the read-out circuitryprovided for the purpose. What these techniques have in common is the use of semi-invasive probing methods to induce measurable ...
