Abstract :
The robustness of a chip designed for security-related applications depends on its capability to globally resist to various types of attacks. Fault-based attacks are classically countered by information redundancy (data encoding). This paper shows that codes with similar detection efficiency can have very different characteristics with respect to other types of attacks based on power consumption analysis
