Fault Analysis in Cryptography

"Fault attacks is an active area of research in cryptography, currently explored in hundreds of research papers and dedicated conferences. This book is the first comprehensive treatment of the subject covering both the theory and practice of these attacks as well as defense techniques. ... Preventing fault attacks without sacrificing performance is nontrivial.  Over the years a number of innovative ideas have been proposed for efficiently verifying cryptographic computations. Many defense strategies are described in the book, some of which are already deployed in real-world cryptographic libraries. Nevertheless, many implementations remain vulnerable. I was thrilled to see the material covered in the book and hope that it will make fault defense standard practice in the minds of developers."
(Dan Boneh, Stanford University)

"Among the well-studied side-channel analysis techniques, fault analysis might be the most powerful for recovering the secret value in the computation of a cryptographic algorithm. ... This book contains sufficient information for people who have not studied fault analysis before. It will be a handy book for self-study for both security engineers and academic researchers."
