Control, Automate, and Analyze Fault Injection Campaigns
Fault injection testing requires more than generating faults. It requires precise control over test parameters, automated execution of complex campaigns, and efficient analysis of large volumes of results. Inspector Fault Injection Software provides an integrated environment for designing, executing, automating, and analyzing fault injection evaluations across a wide range of device security testing workflows.
Supporting voltage, clock, electromagnetic, and optical fault injection techniques, Inspector enables security engineers to systematically explore how devices behave under fault conditions and identify vulnerabilities that may compromise security-critical operations. The platform combines hardware control, campaign automation, parameter exploration, and built-in analysis capabilities to help users efficiently discover exploitable fault conditions and assess the effectiveness of implemented countermeasures.
From targeted cryptographic evaluations to large-scale vulnerability assessments, Inspector helps teams streamline fault injection workflows and reduce the effort required to reproduce, analyze, and document results. Whether performing differential fault analysis (DFA), validating security countermeasures, preparing for certification, or conducting advanced security research, Inspector provides the automation, visibility, and flexibility required for modern fault injection testing.

Frequently Asked Questions
Inspector Fault Injection Software provides an integrated environment for designing, executing, automating, and analyzing fault injection evaluations. It helps security teams control test hardware, configure attack parameters, run campaigns, investigate results, and validate how devices respond to different fault conditions.
Fault injection testing can involve many combinations of timing, amplitude, location, trigger conditions, and other parameters. Testing these manually can quickly become complex and time-consuming.
Inspector helps structure and automate this process, allowing teams to systematically explore fault conditions, reproduce successful attacks, and analyze results within a consistent testing workflow.
Inspector supports a range of fault injection workflows, including:
- Voltage glitching
- Clock glitching
- Electromagnetic fault injection (EMFI)
- Optical or laser fault injection
- Single and multiple fault scenarios
- Cryptographic fault analysis
The exact setup depends on the target device, methodology, and connected hardware.
Inspector provides the software layer used to configure, control, and automate compatible Keysight Device Security hardware. Depending on the setup, Inspector can coordinate fault generation, triggering, positioning, target communication, and result collection.
This helps bring the different components of a fault injection setup together into a more integrated and repeatable workflow.
Yes. Automation is one of the key capabilities of Inspector Fault Injection Software. Instead of manually changing attack parameters for every test, users can configure campaigns that systematically explore different fault conditions.
This is particularly valuable when the successful attack window is small or when large numbers of parameter combinations need to be evaluated.
A successful fault may depend on a very specific combination of parameters, such as timing, amplitude, duration, or location. Finding that combination manually can require many test iterations.
Automation allows security teams to explore the test space more systematically, improve repeatability, and spend more time analyzing meaningful results rather than manually configuring experiments.
Inspector can support fault injection evaluations across a broad range of embedded and security-critical devices, depending on the hardware configuration, including secure elements, smart cards, microcontrollers, FPGAs, System-on-Chip (SoC) devices, and embedded processors.
Differential Fault Analysis is a cryptographic evaluation technique that examines differences between correct and faulted cryptographic outputs. These differences can reveal weaknesses in an implementation and, under certain conditions, expose sensitive cryptographic information.
Inspector provides analysis capabilities that help security teams investigate faulted results and perform cryptographic fault evaluations within the broader testing workflow.
Yes. Inspector provides a structured environment that can help teams establish repeatable fault injection workflows while offering the advanced capabilities required by experienced security evaluators.
Keysight also provides training and expert support to help teams develop practical fault injection knowledge and determine which methodologies and equipment are appropriate for their testing requirements.
