Countermeasures for cryptographic devices to thwart side-channel analysis attack and fault attack are typically investigated in a separate fashion. There lacks thorough investigation on how one countermeasure specifically for one attack affects the efficiency of another attack. We are developing countermeasures to address the combined attack. Our research team explores a unified framework to tackle both attacks effecitvely.
