Assault and Battery: Evaluating the Security of Power Conversion Systems Against Electromagnetic Injection Attacks. (arXiv:2305.06901v1 [cs.CR])
cs.CR updates on arXiv.org arxiv.org
Many modern devices, including critical infrastructures, depend on the
reliable operation of electrical power conversion systems. The small size and
versatility of switched-mode power converters has resulted in their widespread
adoption. Whereas transformer-based systems passively convert voltage,
switched-mode converters feature an actively regulated feedback loop, which
relies on accurate sensor measurements. Previous academic work has shown that
many types of sensors are vulnerable to Intentional Electromagnetic
Interference (IEMI) attacks, and it has been postulated that power converters,
too, are affected. …
