Cryptography
Differential Fault Analysis (DFA) is a cryptographic attack that exploits faults induced in a cryptographic device during its operation, particularly during encryption or decryption processes. By analyzing the differences between faulty and correct outputs, attackers can gain insights into the internal state of the cryptographic algorithm, potentially leading to key recovery or the identification of vulnerabilities. This technique is often used in conjunction with other attacks to improve effectiveness.
