Abstract

Several attacks based on fault injection have been presented against the AES algorithm. Most of these attacks belong to the class of Differential Fault Analysis. Every attack relies on a specific fault model defined as hypothesis by the authors of the attack. In this paper we analyze the role of the knowledge by the attacker about such fault model on the practical effectiveness of the attacks.

Literature on Differential Fault Analysis (DFA) on AES-128 shows that it is more difficult to attack AES when the fault is induced in the key schedule, than when it is injected in the intermediate states. Recent research shows that DFA on AES key ...
