Diode Laser Station
Protecting chips against laser fault attacks is one of the main security challenges in the smart card industry. With the Diode Laser Station, a user can perform advanced laser fault attacks that meet the highest international standards to assess if a smart card is secured against optical attacks.
Multi glitching
The Diode Laser Station offers a set of new features meeting the latest timing and power requests from fault injection experts around the world. The special set of diode lasers with dedicated optics and the ultra-fast and flexible control create the ultimate fault injection test solution. Its integration with the Inspector software further ensures that automation and analysis are covered by extendible modules which are flexible and easy to use.
The Diode Laser Station contains two powerful diode lasers, a red and near-infrared laser, which fire their pulse on the smart card through a set of optics. The VC Glitcher with smart card is mounted on an XY stage to perform automated scanning of the chip’s surface. Via a small camera all actions can be viewed via the software. The smart card behaviour during the tests is logged by VC Glitcher and stored on the workstation with Inspector software for further analysis. Analysis modules are available to assist the user in detecting security weaknesses on the smart card.
Riscure partners with Opto, a world-renowned optical design house in Germany, for the Diode Laser Station. The optics and lasers of the system have been specifically designed to achieve the ultimate laser setup for fault injection testing.
In standalone mode
The Diode Laser Station is also available in standalone mode for integration with a user's own fault injection software.
