“…Beside that, the physical layer security of the HC-IoT network necessitates particular deliberation, since these devices are subject to a variety of stipulations that must be overcome during the deployment phase i.e. reliable operation, quick access to the patient, low latency, and data preservation followed least implementation costs ( Dofe, Frey, Yu, 2016 , Kazemi, Papadimitriou, Souvatzoglou, Aerabi, Ahmed, Hely, Beroulle, 2019 ). As a result, high security on board is critical to meeting the above requirements during the construction process of HC-IoT devices.…”

COVID-19 is a global infectious disease that can be easily spread by the contiguity of infected people. To prevent from COVID-19 and reduce its impact in sustainable smart cities, the global research communities are working relentlessly by harnessing the emerging technologies to develop the safest diagnosis, evaluation, and treatment procedures, and Internet of Things (IoT) is one of the pioneers among them. IoT can perform a pivotal role to diminish its immense contagious rate by suitable utilization in emerging healthcare IoT applications in sustainable smart cities. Therefore, the focus of this paper is to outline a survey of the emerging healthcare IoT applications practiced in the perspective of COVID-19 pandemic in terms of network architecture security, trustworthiness, authentication, and data preservation followed by identifying existing challenges to set the future research directions. The salient contributions of this work deal with the accomplishment of a detailed and comprehensive literature review of COVID-19 starting from 2019 through 2021 in the context of emerging healthcare IoT technology. In addition, we extend the correlated contributions of this work by highlighting the weak aspects of the existing emerging healthcare IoT applications, security of different network layers and secure communication environment followed by some associated requirements to address these challenges. Moreover, we also identify future research directions in sustainable smart cities for emerging healthcare IoT utilization in the context of COVID-19 with the most productive results and least network implementation costs.

“…The clock glitching attack can have a significant impact on the critical parts of a running application such as its encryption module and arithmetic or logical instructions. In several works, a specific round or operation of the AES algorithm has been targeted by a clock glitching attack to generate faulty cipher text [11,27,33]. These faulty outputs can be used to recover the encryption key.…”

“…Moreover, much thinner glitches can be produced by applying the CSC method due to the existing DLL constraint of generating higher frequencies for the CDCF method. As an example, [33] reported that the minimum glitch width with CSC is less than that with the CDCF method.…”

The Internet-of-Things (IoT) has gained significant importance in all aspects of daily life, and there are many areas of application for it. Despite the rate of expansion and the development of infrastructure, such systems also bring new concerns and challenges. Security and privacy are at the top of the list and must be carefully considered by designers and manufacturers. Not only do the devices need to be protected against software and network-based attacks, but proper attention must also be paid to recently emerging hardware-based attacks. However, low-cost unit software developers are not always sufficiently aware of existing vulnerabilities due to these kinds of attacks. To tackle the issue, various platforms are proposed to enable rapid and easy evaluation against physical attacks. Fault attacks are the noticeable type of physical attacks, in which the normal and secure behavior of the targeted devices is liable to be jeopardized. Indeed, such attacks can cause serious malfunctions in the underlying applications. Various studies have been conducted in other research works related to the different aspects of fault injection. Two of the primary means of fault attacks are clock and voltage fault injection. These attacks can be performed with a moderate level of knowledge, utilizing low-cost facilities to target IoT systems. In this paper, we explore the main parameters of the clock and voltage fault generators. This can help hardware security specialists to develop an open-source platform and to evaluate their design against such attacks. The principal concepts of both methods are studied for this purpose. Thereafter, we conclude our paper with the need for such an evaluation platform in the design and production cycle of embedded systems and IoT devices.

“…Given a circuit, clock signal is disturbed through manipulating the clock or the voltage of the circuit. Traditionally, FIA with clock glitches is performed through the input of clock signal [4]. Recently, electromagnetic (EM) fault attack shows the capability of tampering the clock signal and inducing clock glitches [5].…”

This paper proposes a digital and lightweight delaybased detector against fault injection attacks (FIAs) which could induce clock glitches. The detector has a simple structure and exploits a reconfigurable delay chain to monitor the clock signal disturbances. The delay chain is designed according to the protected circuit's clock period and timing slack, such that the detector can work in a range of delay values. This property makes the detector tolerate the aging issue. The experiments on iterative DES cipher circuit verify that the detector is effective to detect clock glitches. The overheads of area and power consumption introduced by the detector are 0.058% and 4.5%, respectively.
