FDTC 2024 – Twentyfirst Workshop on Fault Diagnosis and Tolerance in Cryptography September 4, 2024, on-site: Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada (affiliated to CHES 2024 - https://ches.iacr.org/2024) FDTC 2024 is held in cooperation (http://iacr.org/icw) with IACR (http://iacr.org). Fault injection is one of the most exploited means for extracting confidential information from embedded devices and for compromising their intended operation. Therefore, research on established as well as upcoming methodologies, and techniques for fault injection, architectures and design tools for the design of robust and protected cryptographic systems and embedded devices (both hardware and software), are essential. Fault injection case studies on popular categories of embedded devices like mobile phones, industrial control devices, hardware wallets for cryptocurrencies, security tokens, etc., are of high interest to improve the understanding of the implications on realistic applications. FDTC is the reference event in the field of fault injection appliances, fault attacks and countermeasures. Topics of interest include but are not limited to: - Fault injection setups and praxis: - novel and improved mechanisms for fault injection, e.g., using lasers, electromagnetic induction, or clock / power supply manipulation - practical issues in fault injection setups and validation results - practical limitations of attacks and implications for security - fault injection in emerging technologies, e.g., memristor, carbon nanotubes, etc - Case studies: - attacks on cryptographic implementations including post-quantum cryptography and lightweight cryptography - attacks on embedded devices like mobile phones, industrial control devices, hardware wallets for cryptocurrencies, security tokens, smartcards, TEEs, secure enclaves, etc. - attacks on machine learning architectures and validation of results - attacks on privacy-preserving technologies, e.g., homomorphic encryption, zero-knowledge proofs, multi-party computation - attacks on remote targets, e.g., fpgas in the cloud - Related highly-invasive attacks on device security: - setups and practical results from invasive attacks, such as photonic emission analysis, laser thermal imaging, laser-voltage imaging, etc. - practical issues, limitations and potential - Countermeasures (detection, resistance and tolerance): - countermeasures for cryptographic implementations - countermeasures for firmware of embedded devices, e.g., for bootloaders - detection countermeasures, e.g., control flow integrity - HW/SW co-design countermeasures for CPU architectures - Design tools for analysis of fault attacks and countermeasures: - early estimation of fault attack robustness - automatic applications of fault countermeasures - formal methods and techniques for the verification of fault resiliency Important dates (2024): Submission deadline: May 26 Notification of final acceptance: July 12 Final version (camera-ready): July 26 Workshop: Sept. 4 Program chairs: Fabrizio De Santis Siemens, DE Francesco Regazzoni Univ.

Submissions should be anonymous, with no author names, affiliations, acknowledgments, or obvious references. Papers should be up to 12 pages (including the bibliography and appendices) and must be formatted following the instructions in the provided template. FDTC also encourages the submission of short papers which will also be subject to peer review; however, the intention is to encourage authors to introduce work in progress, novel applications, and corporate/industrial experiences. Short papers will be evaluated with a focus on novelty and potential for sparking the interest of the participants and future research avenues. Short paper submissions are limited to 6 pages formatted following the instructions in the provided template. The paper title for short papers must include the text "Short Paper:". Accepted submissions will be included in the conference proceedings. The submission of final papers will be managed directly by Conference Publishing Services (CPS). CPS will contact the authors with instructions and will send links for uploading the manuscripts. Accepted papers will be published in an archival proceedings volume by CPS and will be distributed at the time of the workshop. At least one author of each accepted paper must register for the workshop and present the paper in order to be included in the proceedings.
