eshard announces its collaboration with ALPhANOV
September 2018 by Emmanuelle Lamandé
eshard announces its collaboration with ALPhANOV, the Optics and Lasers technology Center, to integrate esDynamic Analyst Development platform with the industry state-of-art laser benches.
eshard technology allows security experts to analyze, attack, pinpoint
vulnerabilities and finally refine the security of their products in an efficient
way, while ensuring them to build and share their knowledge internally. The
collaborative design of the platform enables not only the solution to perform
side-channel, white-box cryptography analysis, fault injection and also provides
extensions to control equipment.
ALPhANOV laser benches consist of high-end hardware platforms allowing to focus
through a microscope one or two ultra-short laser pulses and scan them on integrated
circuits (IC) for testing. This technic called laser fault injection, allows to
disrupt the IC while it is running, and make sure that it’s enough secured against
physical external attacks. With ALPhANOV laser station, users can control
temporally, with picosecond precision when the pulse is injected on the IC and
spatially with only hundreds nanometer resolutions.
Combine esDynamic platform with ALPhANOV hardware enables the industry to access to a comprehensive solution for secure chip fault injection and allows experts to
efficiently build or improve its knowhow in security analysis.
ALPhANOV and eshard keep strengthening their partnership and developing more
dedicated solutions for their customers.
