ePrint Report: MAFIA: Protecting the Microarchitecture of Embedded Systems Against Fault Injection Attacks

Thomas Chamelot, Damien Couroussé, Karine Heydemann

Fault injection attacks represent an effective threat to embedded systems. Recently, Laurent et al. have reported that fault injection attacks can leverage faults inside the microarchitecture. However, state-of-the-art counter-measures, hardware-only or with hardware support, do not consider the integrity of microarchitecture control signals that are the target of these faults.
We present MAFIA, a microarchitecture protection against fault injection attacks. MAFIA …
