Fault injection attacks on chips with Post-Quantum Cryptography: quantum defeated, glitching - still not. ⚛️⚡😵💫🔓🎉
Security researcher Fikret Garipay presented research last year showing how fault injection attacks can bypass verification in post-quantum cryptography (PQC) systems.
Why? Because future quantum computers could eventually break classical cryptography, so PQC is replacing RSA and ECC. Major companies are already deploying PQC in secure boot, firmware signing, and trusted hardware.
Apparently, PQC may be robust against quantum computers, but not against fault injection attacks.
This presentation is full of math and technical details about post-quantum cryptography, so I would strongly recommend watching it at least twice: once to understand the concept, and another time (after doing your homework) to understand the details.
Enjoy!
