Frequently Asked Questions
The Embedded Security Testbench provides a unified platform for executing fault injection campaigns against embedded devices. It enables security teams to coordinate triggering, glitch generation, target communication, and automation workflows required to identify vulnerabilities and validate security countermeasures.
Successful fault injection testing depends on precise timing, repeatability, and coordination between multiple hardware components. A dedicated testbench helps synchronize triggering, glitch generation, communication interfaces, and measurement equipment to improve attack success rates and testing efficiency.
The platform can be configured to support a variety of fault injection methodologies, including:
- Voltage fault injection
- Clock glitching
- Electromagnetic fault injection (EMFI)
- Laser fault injection
- Multi-stage fault injection campaigns
The DS1050A serves as the foundation of the platform, providing the PXI chassis and controller environment that integrates hardware modules, software, and instrumentation into a synchronized fault injection testing system.
A fault injection tool performs a specific action, such as generating a glitch or injecting an electromagnetic pulse. The testbench serves as the centralized platform that synchronizes all fault injection equipment, controls test execution, and automates attack workflows.
Yes. The modular PXI architecture allows users to start with the capabilities needed today and add additional modules as testing requirements evolve.
No. The modular design allows you to begin with the DS1050A core platform and add the DS1060A Pattern-Based Trigger Generator, DS1070A Glitch Pattern Generator, or DS1071A Digital I/O module as your testing needs grow.
The platform supports fault injection evaluations across a wide range of embedded devices, including:
- Secure elements
- Smart cards
- Microcontrollers
- System-on-Chip (SoC) devices
- FPGAs
- Embedded processors
Many successful fault injection attacks depend on injecting a fault within a very small timing window. Accurate triggering helps ensure faults occur at the intended moment, improving repeatability and attack effectiveness.
Synchronization ensures that triggering, fault generation, communication, and measurement occur in a coordinated manner. This improves repeatability, reduces setup variability, and increases confidence in test results.
PXI (PCI eXtensions for Instrumentation) is a modular test and measurement platform that allows multiple instruments to operate within a single synchronized system. Instead of connecting separate standalone instruments, PXI integrates triggering, control, data acquisition, and processing within a common architecture.
For fault injection testing, this enables precise coordination between trigger generators, glitch generators, digital I/O modules, and software automation tools. The result is improved timing accuracy, greater repeatability, and the flexibility to expand the system as testing requirements evolve.
The Embedded Security Testbench acts as the central hub of a fault injection environment, connecting triggering systems, glitch generators, digital interfaces, measurement hardware, and software automation tools. This enables engineers to plan, execute, automate, and analyze fault injection campaigns from a single integrated platform.
