Introduction
An accomplished hacker can alter device behavior by injecting faults to extract encryption keys or bypass security checks. These faults can be injected through variety of techniques like glitching, high-energy impulses etc. Further the cost-effective practice of outsourcing can introduce untrusted parties in the long chain of supply, creating additional vulnerabilities in the end-product.
In this course, we will study two emerging threats to electronic systems namely fault injection attacks and Hardware trojan. The course will span over basics of fault-injection attacks, its injection and analysis techniques, countermeasures and implications. It will also shed light on Hardware trojan as a by product of untrusted supply chain, it taxonomy and detection methods.
The Graduate Certificate in Hardware Security Evaluation and Certification is done in collaboration the Cyber Security Agency of Singapore to train and upskill professionals in the industry as well as for professionals who are keen to join this exciting industry
This course is part of:
- Graduate Certificate in Hardware Security Evaluation and Certification
By the end of this course, learner would be able to:
1. Compare different trojan detection mechanisms and describe their applicable scenarios and;
2. Describe tools and algorithms used for trojan detection and prevention.
To meet the requirement of SkillsFuture Singapore, assessment(s) will be conducted during every course. The assessment(s) include:
- Class Participation
- Quizzes
Suitable for practicing cybersecurity professionals or fresh engineering graduates interested in a career of cybersecurity, specifically in the domain of hardware security evaluation, assurance and certification.
Specifically for learners who would like to understand fault attacks and gain practical experience in the field of attacks.
Such knowledge can be applicable in jobs related to hardware design, roles in certification or evaluation labs, forensic investigator, vulnerability assessment analyst etc.
