A taxonomy of attacks on secure devices

Evaluating the security of hardware devices requires an organised assessment of which attacks the device might be exposed to.This in turn requires a structured body of knowledge about such attacks, classified in such a way that an evaluator can easily determine which attacks are applicable to a particular device.This paper presents such a collection, organised as a taxonomy of attacks on secure devices.The taxonomy covers many attacks applicable to hardware which are frequently overlooked in a software or protocol-centric evaluation.
