Fault attack is referred to as an attack that targets mainly on cryptographic algorithms of a smart card system. With the increasing demand for convenience and advancing technology, smart card has become a popular form of transaction; the importance of cyber security cannot be overstated. Especially for many technological advanced countries where there is a high usage of smart card system. Sensitive information is required to be protected through concealment from attacks performed by personnel with malicious intention. In this report, the techniques of various fault models and cryptography to conceal cryptographic secrets in the tarn per-resistant system are discussed [1]. Through analysing the fault attack carried out on the system, findings can be used to identify the system’s vulnerabilities. Thus, users can further enhance their systems that are leveraging on such cryptography techniques.
