An Information Theoretic Perspective on the Differential Fault Analysis against AES.
Yang Li, Shigeto Gomisawa, Kazuo Sakiyama, Kazuo Ohta · 2010
Differential Fault Analysis (DFA) against AES has been actively studied these years. Based on similar assumptions of the fault injection, different DFA attacks against AES have been proposed. However, it is difficult to understand how different attack results are obtained for the same assumption of fault injection. It is also difficult to understand the relationship between similar assumptions of fault injections and the corresponding attack results. This paper reviews the previous DFA attacks against AES from an information theoretic point of view, and gives a general understanding for DFA attacks against AES.
