This course aims to teach learners how hardware vulnerabilities can be exploited to target systems that are software-secure, specifically focusing on a side-channel attack to the RSA signature algorithm by leveraging transient hardware faults. The course covers topics such as cryptography, RSA authentication, fault injection, and analyzing the final results of the attack. The teaching method includes a detailed presentation with a live demo of the attack on an FPGA platform. The intended audience for this course includes cybersecurity professionals, hardware security enthusiasts, and individuals interested in understanding the intricacies of hardware-based security attacks.
