Research

As a professional in the field of hardware security, my work primarily focuses on fault injection attacks and developing novel techniques to compromise secure systems. By leveraging innovative fault injection methodologies and enhancing existing attack methods, I aim to uncover vulnerabilities and strengthen the security posture of hardware devices.
