Differential Fault Analysis (DFA) is widely known for one of the most efficient method analyzing block cipher. In this paper, we propose a new type of DFA on DES (Data Encryption Standard). DFA on DES was first introduced by Biham and Shamir, then Rivain recently introduced DFA on DES middle rounds (9-12 round). However previous attacks on DES can only be applied to the encryption process. Meanwhile, we first propose the DFA on DES key-schedule. In this paper, we proposed a more efficient DFA on DES key schedule with random fault. The proposed DFA method retrieves the key using a more practical fault model and requires fewer faults than the previous DFA on DES.
