FortifyIQ's Fault Injection Attack Countermeasures are crafted to preemptively address the vulnerabilities that arise from fault injection threats, which exploit design flaws by intentionally introducing malfunctions. Traditionally, the resilience of a design to these threats is evaluated only post-manufacture using expensive equipment. FortifyIQ’s pre-silicon solution allows for early-stage identification through robust simulation tools like FaultInjection Studio.
FaultInjection Studio facilitates preemptive assessment of fault injection vulnerabilities, thereby eliminating costly post-production modifications and reducing the risk of operational disruptions. It employs an integrated simulation engine to scrutinize design robustness under simulated fault conditions, offering insights on potential flaws that could be exploited using techniques such as clock glitching or laser attacks.
This methodology not only conserves resources but also enhances the accuracy and thoroughness of security assessments by providing a controlled, noise-free testing environment. FortifyIQ's fault injection defenses ensure that designs are fortified against attacks that would otherwise require costly patches or redesigns after production.
