Description
Electromagnetic injection (EMI) is a common and non-invasive technique used to perform fault attacks. In that case, an electromagnetic wave is radiated by an antenna in the close vicinity of the targeted microcontroller (STM32 in our case).
The clock signal is generated thanks to a Phase-Locked-Loop (PLL). The PLL is highly sensitive to EMI and then induces severe disruption on the clock signal just after the injection. It appears that these clock glitches are the cause of faults observed at the software level.
TRAITOR is a light and highly configurable platform which can reproduce, using FPGA, a clock signal with the same disruptions than obtained by EMI. The signal generated replaces the clock source of the STM32.
User can then perform several glitches at different time in order to fault a program at run-time and induce vulnerabilities. It can especially be applied to code with counter-measure to only one injection fault and then bypass this counter-measure. At the end, multiple fault injection could completely transform an innocent piece of code and make it malicious.

Fine-grained dynamic partitioning against cache-based side channel attacks
Speaker : Nicolas Gaudin - Trasna
The growth of embedded systems takes advantage of architectural advances from modern processors to increase performance while maintaining a low power consumption. Among these advances is the introduction of cache memory into embedded systems. These memories speed up the memory accesses by temporarily storing data close to the execution core. Furthermore, data from different applications share the[…]-

Side-Channel Based Disassembly on Complex Processors: From Microachitectural Characterization to Probabilistic Models
Speaker : Julien Maillard - CEA
Side-Channel Based Disassembly (SCBD) is a category of Side-Channel Analysis (SCA) that aims at recovering information on the code executed by a processor through the observation of physical side-channels such as power consumption or electromagnetic radiations. While traditional SCA often targets cryptographic keys, SCBD focuses on retrieving assembly code that can hardly be extracted via other[…]-

PhaseSCA: Exploiting Phase-Modulated Emanations in Side Channels
Speaker : Pierre Ayoub - LAAS-CNRS
In recent years, the limits of electromagnetic side-channel attacks have been significantly expanded.However, while there is a growing literature on increasing attack distance or performance, the discovery of new phenomenons about compromising electromagnetic emanations remains limited. In this work, we identify a novel form of modulation produced by unintentional electromagnetic emanations: phase[…]-

Prise de contrôle d’un infodivertissement automobile à distance
Speaker : Philippe Trebuchet, Guillaume Bouffard - ANSSI
Les véhicules connectés intègrent de nombreuses technologies de communications sans-fil à distance, comme celles exploitant les protocoles Bluetooth ou WiFi. Si le gain en confort d’utilisation et d’interaction est notable, la mise à disposition de ce type d’interfaces augmente les risques en matière de cybersécurité. Dans cet article, nous analysons l’implémentation de la pile Bluetooth embarquée[…]-
