Successful attacks demonstrated in the past were both active, when the adversary tampers with the device to alter its normal behavior, or passive, when the adversary monitors side channels to infer the secret key. In view of this increasingly relevant problem, this talk introduces the most powerful physical attacks presented in the past and highlights state of the art countermeasures, focusing in particular on the embedded systems{\textquoteright} scenario.}, keywords = {cryptography, embedded processors, embedded systems, microprocessors chips, physical attacks}, isbn = {978-1-4799-1999-4}, doi = {10.1109/DTIS.2015.7127356}, url = {http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/xpl/mostRecentIssue.jsp?punumber=7118811}, author = {Regazzoni, Francesco} }
