01 Dec 1993TL;DR: It is demonstrated that for frequently communicating modules, implementing fault isolation in software rather than hardware can substantially improve end-to-end application performance.
Abstract: One way to provide fault isolation among cooperating software modules is to place each in its own address space. However, for tightly-coupled modules, this solution incurs prohibitive context switch overhead. In this paper, we present a software approach to implementing fault isolation within a single address space.Our approach has two parts. First, we load the code and data for a distrusted module into its own fault do main, a logically separate portion of the application's address space. Second, we modify the object code of a distrusted module to prevent it from writing or jumping to an address outside its fault domain. Both these software operations are portable and programming language independent.Our approach poses a tradeoff relative to hardware fault isolation: substantially faster communication between fault domains, at a cost of slightly increased execution time for distrusted modules. We demonstrate that for frequently communicating modules, implementing fault isolation in software rather than hardware can substantially improve end-to-end application performance.

TL;DR: A procedure is described which identifies paths which are tested for path faults by a set of patterns, independent of the delays of any individual gate of the network, which is a global delay fault model.
Abstract: Delay testing of combinational logic in a clocked environment is analyzed. A model based upon paths is introduced for delay faults. Any path with a total delay exceeding the clock interval is called a "path fault." This is a global delay fault model because it is associated with an entire path. The more familiar slow-to-rise or slow-to-fall gate delay fault, on the other hand, is a local fault model. A procedure is described which identifies paths which are tested for path faults by a set of patterns. It does not involve delay simulation. The paths so identified are tested for path faults independent of the delays of any individual gate of the network.

TL;DR: The differential fault attack technique is able to break the AES-128 with only 2 faulty ciphertexts, assuming the fault occurs between the antepenultimate and the penultimate MixColumn; this is better than the previous fault attacks against AES.
Abstract: In this paper we describe a differential fault attack technique working against Substitution-Permutation Networks, and requiring very few faulty ciphertexts. The fault model used is realistic, as we consider random faults affecting bytes (faults affecting one only bit are much harder to induce). We implemented our attack on a PC for both the AES and KHAZAD. We are able to break the AES-128 with only 2 faulty ciphertexts, assuming the fault occurs between the antepenultimate and the penultimate MixColumn; this is better than the previous fault attacks against AES(6,10,11). Under similar hypothesis, KHAZAD is breakable with 3 faulty ciphertexts.

TL;DR: In this paper, a plane strain model for a fault is presented that takes into account the inelastic deformation involved in fault growth, and the model requires that the stresses at the tip of the fault never exceed the shear strength of the surrounding rock.
