Abstract
Along with technological progress, information security has become a serious issue that must be taken into account when sensitive and personal data happens to be exposed to a threatening environment. Embedded devices are an example of targets whose security can be violated by an attacker in order to find a secret variable of interest. To provide an adequate protection against any possible leakage, cryptographic algorithms can be integrated into electronic devices in order to help reinforcing data protection against the different possible cryptanalysis attacks. The standard algorithms are mostly considered as secure from a purely mathematical point of view. However, the implementation of said algorithms can contain vulnerabilities that can be exploited to break the algorithm security.
Fault attacks are a well-known example of active cryptanalysis implementation attacks that rely on the voluntary introduction of a perturbation during the execution of a cryptographic algorithm in order to later exploit the created errors
