Don’t Get Knocked Off the Curve: An Overview of Fault Injection Attacks on Elliptic Curve Cryptosystems

Elliptic curve cryptography (ECC) is ubiquitous and used to secure everything from internet traffic to embedded devices. Fault injection (FI) attacks are a powerful class of attack capable of recovering secrets by targeting the implementation of a cryptographic algorithm instead of the underlying mathematics. This guide provides an overview of fault injection attacks which target Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm (ECDSA) and Elliptic Curve Diffie-Hellman (ECDH).
