Fault Injection Characterization
02-24, 13:30–15:00 (US/Central), Workshop Track 1 📍Room 1.124

Most of you have likely heard about hardware Fault Injection. Actually, it's likely some of you have experience injecting glitches into chips. However, many of you are likely still unaware of the full potential of the faults you are, sort of randomly, bringing to life. In this workshop, you will conduct a hands-on Fault Injection experiment and model your faults systemically. This understanding allows you to envision, and potentially devise, powerful Fault Injection exploits.


In this Fault Injection workshop you will be doing the following:

  • Build a Fault Injection setup using NewAE Husky
  • Perform Fault Injection Characterization experiments
  • Describe the faults you are creating by injecting glitches

Note, the activities performed in this workshop are also part of our 'The Art of Fault Injection' training.
