Talk Title:

Toasting MCUs: A Firmware Extraction by EMFI

Abstract:

Electromagnetic Fault Injection (EMFI) is considered as an effective fault injection technique for the purpose of conducting physical attacks against integrated circuits. It enables an adversary to inject errors on a circuit to gain knowledge of sensitive information or to bypass security features. The aim of this talk is to highlight the firmware extraction of MCUs using EMFI. We invest our platform called SiliconToaster to inject EM pulses in order to perform multiple fault attacks without any chip decapsulation.
