Autonomous electromagnetic attacks detection considering a COTS computer as a multi-sensor system

Many studies were devoted to the analysis and the detection of electromagnetic attacks against critical electronic systems at the system or the component levels. As far as we know, the effects induced by such threats are classified depending only on the working status of devices following an illumination. Nevertheless, the possible study of the preliminary symptoms of these effects has not been investigated. In this study, we propose to monitor a set of internal sensors that can be derived for the detection of electromagnetic attacks. We demonstrate the possibility for a COTS computer to detect abnormal activity due to electromagnetic attacks by using its own resources as sensors.
