Electromagnetic analysis, deciphering and engineering reverse integrated circuits
Continuation of the project EMAISeCi, this project aims evaluating and at quantifying threats EM on secure integrated circuits. Its objectives are well summarized by the three following principal questions:
• What can one observe, at best, in an integrated circuit (Ci) thanks to close field EM?
• Why and how do the injections of faults EM function?
• Which are the practical and theoretical limits of threats EM on the circuits?
To answer these questions implies to model the physical interaction of the probe with the circuit and to understand the resolving limit and of the effectiveness of injection. The influence of the specific design of a circuit and the propagation of the generated fault must also be modelled with precision to predict the response of the whole of Ci to a fault. On the physical level, the results of the model will contribute to improve the existing probes and to conceive of them news which will be tested in the frequency band of 1 MHz with 100 GHz (to our knowledge, the existing platforms function at frequencies between 1 MHz and 4 GHz) with an expected resolution of a few tens of microns.
