A crypto-core (also called crypto-accelerator) is a dedicated piece of hardware inside the System-on-Chip. Its main role is to ‘accelerate’ cryptographic primitives and to perform keys management. This post presents several vulnerabilities and fault injection exploits targeting the crypto-core implementation, allowing an attacker to: Bypass the HW-AES encryption Control the AES key value The vulnerabilities…
