Fault Injection Detection technology offers a defensive layer against physical manipulation attempts on semiconductor devices. It includes modular detectors to identify anomalies in clock, power, and thermal profiles, crucial for maintaining the integrity of secure embedded systems. This IP is particularly relevant for applications in highly regulated fields like automotive, medical, and industrial electronics.
The IP can be customized for sensitivity levels and pulse durations to match specific threat models of a given SoC design. By incorporating such defenses alongside existing cryptographic measures, it significantly enhances the security profile and resilience of a system against real-world attack vectors.
Features like glitch detection, thermal anomaly sensors, and voltage monitoring work cohesively to shield cryptographic cores and trusted modules from physical tampering. Together they form a certified-ready design solution that aligns with stringent industry standards, simplifying the process of achieving necessary hardware security certifications.
