Smart Security Attacks at the social level Attacks at the physical level Attacks at the logical level

User Identification 1/3



Attacks on smart cards 1/2 Attacks at the social level

attacks that are primarily directed against people that work with smart cards

can only partially be countered by technical measures

Attacks at the physical level it is necessary to obtain physical access to

the smart card microcontroller hardware can be static or dynamic

Attacks on smart cards 2/2 Attacks at the logical level

most known successful attacks on smart cards

arise from pure mental reflection or computation

classical cryptanalysis , known faults in smart card operating systems and Trojan horses in the smart card application.

Power Analysis Attacks Simple Power Analysis (SPA) is power

analysis based on single power generated by an algorithm run on a smart card.

Differential Power Analysis (DPA) is a technique where power traces are combined in a statistical manner to obtain information about the algorithm running on the smart card.

Square and Multiply algorithms

DPA trace with power reference
