ToorCon 21 - CHIP FAIL - Thomas Roth & Josh Datko
All smart devices, from cars to IoT, are based around processors. Often these proces- sors are not considered as part of the threat model when designing a product: There is an implicit trust that they just work and that the security features in the datasheet do what they say. This is especially fatal when the processors are used for security products, such as bitcoin wallets, cars, or authentication tokens.
In this presentation we will take a look at using fault injection attacks to break some of the most popular IoT processors - using less than 100USD of equipment.
We will also release software & hardware tools to do so.
