Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) A fault injection attack based on an intentional electromagnetic interference (IEMI) using a continuous sinusoidal wave can generate a fault that can be used for the differential fault analysis (DFA) without modifying and tampering with the cryptographic device. However, in this attack, multi-byte faults in the output ciphertext which are not suitable for the DFA are generated frequently, and they increase the analysis time dramatically. In this paper, we propose a method that can increase the occurrence of a 1-byte fault in the output ciphertext by controlling the frequency, phase, and amplitude of the injected sinusoidal wave. Specifically, we control the frequency and phase of the sinusoidal wave injected into the cryptographic module implemented with the advanced encryption standard (AES). At the same time, the error rate of the output ciphertext is monitored so that a glitch is generated on the rising clock-edge with the same phase. At this condition, the amplitude is controlled to further increase the timing difference between the rising timing of the original clock and the overclocking occurrence timing associated with the glitch. It is experimentally validated that the proposed method can increase the occurrence of the 1-byte fault and it is capable of controlling the number of fault bytes in the output ciphertext.
