“…It has been discovered that utilizing an inexpensive EM probe allows for simple data eavesdropping from a distance [4]. Moreover, through the use of glitch injection, methods like differential fault attacks (DFAs) [122] have been able to determine private information. Due to their ease of use and low cost, fault injection attacks (FIAs) and EM-SCA have both gained enormous popularity [10,123,124].…”

“…LEA (Lightweight Encryption Algorithm) is one such encryption that has been proposed and can be examined using various techniques, including DFA. Lim et al [122] proposes a novel DFA method on the ARX-based lightweight block cypher LEA. The proposed method reduces the number of required fault-injected ciphertexts by approximately 70.97% compared to previously proposed attacks in [152,153] and uses a relaxed fault model, namely Random Word Error.…”

Cryptography has become an essential tool in information security, preserving data confidentiality, integrity, and availability. However, despite rigorous analysis, cryptographic algorithms may still be susceptible to attack when used on real-world devices. Side-channel attacks (SCAs) are physical attacks that target cryptographic equipment through quantifiable phenomena such as power consumption, operational times, and EM radiation. These attacks are considered to be a significant threat to cryptography since they compromise the integrity of the algorithm by obtaining the internal cryptographic key of a device by seeing its physical implementation. The literature on SCAs has focused on real-world devices, yet with the growing popularity of sophisticated devices like smartphones, fresh approaches to SCAs are necessary. One such approach is electromagnetic side-channel analysis (EM-SCA), which gathers information by listening to electromagnetic (EM) radiation. EM-SCA has been demonstrated to recover sensitive data like encryption keys and has the potential to identify malicious software, retrieve data, and identify program activity. This study aims to evaluate how well EM-SCA compromises encryption under various application scenarios, as well as examine the role of EM-SCA in digital forensics and law enforcement. Regarding this, addressing the susceptibility of encryption algorithms to EM-SCA approaches can provide digital forensic investigators with the tools they desire to overcome the challenges posed by strong encryption, allowing them to continue playing a crucial role in law enforcement and the justice system. Furthermore, this paper seeks to define the current state of EM-SCA in terms of attacking encryption, the encryption algorithms and encrypted devices that are most vulnerable and resistant to EM-SCA, and the most promising EM-SCA on encryption approaches. This study will provide a comprehensive analysis of EM-SCA in the context of law enforcement and digital forensics and point towards potential directions for further research.

“…The DFA mechanism was first proposed in 1997 by E. Biham et al [2]. Starting with DES, research on the DFA has been steadily conducted for various cryptographic algorithms [14]- [17]. In the DFA, the attacker can cause malfunction by injecting artificial faults at specific times during an encryption operation.…”

With the recent development of the Internet of Things (IoT), related device use is increasing rapidly. As a result, accessing and hijacking the devices is an increasing security threat. The challenges of side-channel security of IoT devices are having a way of coming to the surface due to this physical accessibility. Accordingly, there is active research on lightweight block ciphers to provide security even in resource-scarce environments situations such as IoT. The bit-sliced structure increases memory and time efficiency using an implementation method that replaces a lookup table with a bit-wise operation. Therefore, it is a widely-used design technique for lightweight block ciphers. In this paper, we show a differential fault attack study, a type of side-channel analysis, targeting bit-sliced block ciphers. In particular, it proposes a novel attack rationale on the recently proposed lightweight block cipher PIPO and shows that it applies sufficiently to other bit-sliced block ciphers. The proposed attack is based on a more alleviated attacker's assumption than the previously proposed attack, and it shows that less than 32 fewer fault ciphertext may fully recover the 128-bit of the PIPO 64/128 secret key. It proves that the attack is practical by verifying the attack through the actual electromagnetic fault injection. It also discusses the applicability of various bitsliced block ciphers and shows how redundancy-based countermeasures might improve fault-robustness. Therefore, when using the bit-sliced block ciphers on IoT devices, we recommend applying appropriate countermeasures against fault injection attacks.

“…It only consists of the ARX (modular Addition, bitwise Rotation, and bitwise XOR) operations for an array of four 32-bit words. LEA gets the resistance against the attacks for block ciphers and is proved by providing better speed and size on many platforms than AES [5]. For this reason, we chose the LEA approach to create a security tag for message authentication.…”

Industry 4.0 is continuous automation by applying the latest smart technologies to traditional manufacturing industries. It means that large-scale M2M (Machine-to-Machine) communication and IoT (Internet of Things) technologies are well integrated to build efficient production systems by analyzing and diagnosing various issues without human intervention. Edge computing is widely used for M2M services that handle real-time interactions between devices at industrial machinery tool sites.Here, secure data transmission is required while interacting. Thus, this paper focused on a method of creating and maintaining secret key and security tag used for message authentication between enddevices and edge-device.
